The CSO and Joffrey Ballet Make an Ideal Couple: Review

WTTW News

April 11, 2025

Pair two of Chicago’s greatest cultural gems in a multifaceted program on the Symphony Center stage, and you have an ideal example of the city’s exceptional talent. And that is exactly what you will find in the current program that brings the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Joffrey Ballet together in a most winning way.

“Les Boeufoons,” a zestily choreographed, circus-like work by Nicolas Blanc, a dancer turned worldly choreographer — with a rich collection of costumes for the work’s many, varied (and mischievous) characters who can pull off quite a few acrobatic moves.”
