BWW Review: AN AFTERNOON OF SWEETS AND DELIGHTS with the Eglevsky Ballet
The Nutcracker matinee presented by the Eglevsky Ballet opened with an enthusiastic welcome from the Executive Artistic Director, Maurice Brandon Curry. Mr. Curry truly choreographed this production with great attention to detail, quality, and with an unparalleled panache. The Massapequa Philharmonic under the direction of David Bernard regaled the audience with the classical music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Throughout the performance, at times, I felt as if I were listening to a pre-recorded sound track because it was so smooth. What a wonderful addition and elevated element for the audience!
