Ballet meets jazz. 🎷🩰   Royal Winnipeg Ballet Artistic Director Christopher Stowell and Desautels professor Will Bonness talk about bringing Balanchine’s “Who Cares?” to the stage with a twist: Gershwin’s music, reimagined for a live jazz quartet.   “As far as I know, this is the first time the whole work has been danced in this way,” says Stowell.   Bonness re-wrote Gershwin’s pieces for a small jazz ensemble and will perform alongside fellow Desautels faculty Karly Epp (voice), Karl Kohut (bass), and Fabio Ragnelli (drums). Dancers from the @rwballet bring Balanchine’s choreography to life, and the afternoon opens the Desautels Concert Series’ 2026–27 season.   𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡: Sunday, September 27 𝗗𝗢𝗢𝗥𝗦: 1:30 PM 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗪: 2:00 PM 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘: Desautels Concert Hall, University of Manitoba   Tickets available now, link in bio.   #DesautelsConcertSeries #RoyalWinnipegBallet #UniversityOfManitoba

The Royal Winnipeg Ballet is entering a new era, but our story began in 1939, when Gweneth Lloyd and Betty Hay-Farrally arrived in Winnipeg with an ambitious vision to bring ballet to the prairies. What began as the Winnipeg Ballet Club would go on to become Canada’s first professional ballet company and, in 1953, receive the first Royal Charter granted by Queen Elizabeth II during her reign. For more than 85 years, we’ve evolved alongside the artists, students, audiences, and communities who have shaped us. Now, as we begin a new chapter under the leadership of Christopher Stowell and Elena Tupyseva, we’re welcoming new possibilities for what ballet can be. Our new brand reflects what has always made RWB distinctive: an adventurous spirit, a willingness to take risks and a drive to keep pushing the art form forward. It honours that spirit with a bold, expressive new identity — one that builds on our remarkable legacy while creating space for new ideas, new audiences and what comes next. Welcome to the new RWB. Link in bio.
It's all led to this moment. Join us for our main stage season opener of Stravinsky Stories TOMORROW @centennialconcerthall. Firebird by Houston Thomas. The Fairy's Kiss by Alexei Ratmansky. Two magical worlds we can't wait for you to be fully immersed in. Tickets are still available through the link in our bio.
