Press Alert: ArtsATL Looks at the 15|16 Season with Gennadi Nedvigin at the Helm

Click here to read Cynthia Bond Perry's analysis of Atlanta Ballet's 2015|2016 Season and what newly appointed artistic director Gennadi Nedvigin will bring to the Company.

"Of Nedvigin’s selections, one of the most opportune is Liam Scarlett’s Vespertine. Scarlett is a wunderkind in the ballet world who’s finding his place among today’s most sought-after choreographers. Nedvigin’s use of the word 'genius' to describe him is apt — due in part to Scarlett’s astute musicality, innate sense of drama and deft facility with both abstract and narrative forms. He moves large groups of dancers across the stage like ocean tides; his partnering is surprising and inventive." -Cynthia Bond Perry, ArtsATL
