"Spring Series" is as delightful as it is diverse, offering a collection of three works sure to melt away the winter doldrums.

The spirit of Sammy Davis, Jr. lives on in "Simply Sammy," Darrell Grand Moultrie's toe-tapping, finger-snapping crowd-pleaser. This celebration of the legendary crooner includes an irresistible soundtrack, featuring nine of his classics such as “For Once in My Life” and “The Lady Is a Tramp.” Internationally acclaimed hoofer Marshall L. Davis, Jr. recreates the aura of one of the original members of the Rat Pack in this one-of-a-kind performance. Click here to see a video preview.

Be swept away in the hauntingly beautiful "Mozart Requiem," the second piece featured in
"Spring Series." Mozart’s apocalyptic masterpiece is paired with Amy Seiwert’s stunning choreography in this poignant exploration of life and death. Click here to see a video preview.

"Genesis" 2009 winner and Choreographer in Residence Timothy O'Donnell delivers the third piece, presenting his newest world premiere, "Children of The Wall," set to a pulsating mix of music from Vitamin String Quartet, The Avalanches, Yann Tiersen and Wax Tailor.

An astonishing assembly of three tremendous talents in choreography today in one great performance!
