FLORENCE PRICE: Adoration
JESSIE MONTGOMERY: Break Away
BEYONCÉ: Lemonade

what to expect

The highlight of this evening is a reimagined classical rendition of Beyoncé's iconic album Lemonade. A genre-defining masterpiece of the 21st century, Lemonade delves into themes of identity, betrayal, and empowerment, blending diverse musical styles with spoken word poetry.

The piece is brought to life by Wooden Elephant Quintet, a pioneering ensemble that reworks electronic albums into full-length classical concerts. They have reached top 10 on Apple Music Classical and appeared on a Golden Globe-nominated film soundtrack, all between collaborations with top European festivals and orchestras.

The program also features world-class dance, with a premiere by Spanish choreographer Lúa Mayenco, set to Jessie Montgomery’s Break Away.
