About the Project
The Nutcracker Dance Along is one of EXO’s most beloved innovations. Drawing on the experience of dancing to the Rite of Spring, we opened up the possibility of the audience being the ones who get to move to Tchaikovsky’s iconic score. The results were pure magic, as audience members soared and leapt, lay down, or sat close to the musicians and felt the music pour over them.
In December 2018, we were grateful to be listed as the #1 Holiday-themed concert in TimeOut NY!

Festival Concerts
Smyth’s haunting music, given here in conductor James Blachly’s new edition, is beautifully constructed and highly evocative (with quotes or allusions to earlier Smyth scores). Her orchestration is limpid and masterly, rendered lovingly here by Blachly with the Experiential Orchestra. The choral contribution is relatively minor, the focus rightly on the two soloists, but again superbly performed… Magnificent sound from Chandos, too. Very strongly recommended.
