This November, witness an inspired collaboration of music and dance like no other. World-renowned master guitarist Estas Tonne is performing in the US for the first time with a 24-city tour. The tour kicks off in Escondido, CA November 1, 2018. The "bad boy of ballet" Sergey Polunin will share the stage for three magical nights as a special guest in three cities: at Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles on November 4, at Palace for Fine Arts in San Francisco on November 6, and at Crest Theatre in Sacramento on November 7.
Sergey Polunin says, "I am so happy to take on a new journey with Estas Tonne. He is a special artist, whose music has inspired and transformed me for many years."
This unique collaboration was inspired by the famous scene in the feature film White Nights (1985). Mikhail Baryshnikov passionately performed to the moving music of legendary Soviet singer Vladimir Vysotsky. Sergey himself considers Milkhail as his mentor.
