Portland Ballet is proud to bring 'Four Seasons' back to life in Congress Square Park in collaboration with the Friends of Congress Square Park!  Set to Vivaldi’s classical score, Nell Shipman created this contemporary piece for nine dancers which premiered outdoors in September 2020.  It explores how the inevitability of change affects and shapes us as individuals who, in turn, play a part in our larger community.  'Four Seasons' is a part of Portland Ballet’s repertoire that will resonate with audiences of all ages. This event is free.
