You may have already seen this incredible show…but in case you missed it, here’s your chance! This Sunday, August 21, 2016, Maestro Victor Vener and his orchestra will be performing along side with the ridiculously talented street, animation and hip-hop dancers Cyrus “Glitch” Spencer, James “B-Dash” Derrick and Kevin “Konkrete” Davis at the iconic Los Angeles landmark Walt Disney Concert Hall.

“It was such an honor to perform for the first time with a professional orchestra the caliber of California Philharmonic,” shared Spencer who, since wowing people as Season 9 runner-up on the nine time Emmy Award winning FOX hit television show So You Think You Can Dance, has been performing all across the country, shooting commercials and starring in feature films including the most recent installment of the smash hit Step Up franchise, Step Up: All In’ among others.“It was epic and we look forward to performing with California Philharmonic again next weekend!”

Noted pianist Norman Krieger is also a special guest during this special concert that is filled with favorites from Star Wars, E.T., Jurassic Park, as well as the 1812 Overture and Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1.

“It was so much fun, everyone wanted more…and we are thrilled to bring more of the magic to our final concert of the summer season,” said Vener who came up with the groundbreaking idea to have the talented trio perform with the orchestra. “We have an exceptionally entertaining program lined up with these incredible dancers, a tribute to John Williams, all-time favorite classical masterworks and more.”

Performances start at 2:00 pm, with the intimate pre-concert Talks With The Maestro at 1:00 pm in BP Hall. Get your tickets now!!
