Grand Kyiv Ballet’s ‘The Nutcracker’ pirouettes into Atlanta Symphony Hall for one night only

What better way to ring in the holiday season than supporting the Ukrainian arts?

For one night only (Wednesday, Nov. 27 at 7PM), the Grand Kyiv Ballet will bring its rendition of Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” to Atlanta Symphony Hall. Twenty out of 35 performers in the troupe are Ukrainian, and a portion of your ticket price will support the renovation of the Kyiv State Choreographic College in Kyiv itself.

While the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra won’t be performing, prior audiences have said the lack of live music doesn’t detract from the emotional core – and Ukrainian spirit – showcased onstage. Book tickets here.
