There’ll be two different programs featuring 16 artists from Houston Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, San Francisco Ballet and the Washington Ballet.

Pacific Northwest Ballet dancers will perform Alejandro Cerrudo’s new work “Future Memory” in front of a live audience for the first time at the festival.

Pacific Northwest Ballet Dancers Leah Terada and Miles Pertl will perform “Reverie,” a new work by choreographer Price Suddarth and set to a “World Premiere” composition by Alfonso Peduto.

Monday’s program will feature works by George Balanchine, Danielle Rowe, Edwaard Liang and the world premiere by Price Suddarth.
