What better way to welcome the holidays than with the festive, playful, almost magical feeling created by Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker and a collaboration with an old friend? This December, join your Spartanburg Philharmonic and Ballet Spartanburg for an exceptional performance of this beloved masterpiece of classical music and ballet. Ballet Spartanburg Artistic Director Carlos Agudelo brilliantly choreographs each jeté and pirouette. And each playful waltz and trilling roll of the timpani is deftly led by guest conductor Geneviève Leclair. Together, they bring Nutcracker to life and create an extraordinary experience that will delight audiences of all ages.

The Conductor
Geneviève Leclair
Assistant Professor at Berklee College of Music where she has been teaching since 2016 and an active guest conductor with organizations across Canada, the United States, and the U.K. Equally at home in symphony, ballet and opera, she was a recurring guest conductor with The National Ballet of Canada and Northern Ballet (UK).
“Our dancers always feel they have an ally and an artist supporting and guiding them when Geneviève is in the pit. This kind of connection between the orchestra and the stage allows great performances to happen; moments of trust and daring that are unique to live theater.” - Christopher Stowell, Associate Artistic Director, National Ballet of Canada
