Few arts organizations did more than Nashville Ballet to engage with audiences throughout the pandemic, offering a wide range of online classes and virtual performances. But in May, the esteemed company returned to live, in-person performance with a compelling selection of mixed repertory at Ascend Amphitheater. Featuring Paul Vasterling’s evocative Seasons and Jennifer Archibald’s Posters (with live musical performance by the Grammy-nominated R&B duo Louis York and girl-group-inspired act The Shindellas, plus spoken word by award-winning author and lifelong Nashvillian Caroline Randall Williams), the program marked a welcome return — and a particularly affecting evening of dance.
