Join us for Last Call - Sunday, May 19, 2024

Relevé Society hosts our annual Last Call event with all proceeds going directly to support the creation of new work through Nashville ballet’s Live in Studio A – Five Short Stories. Nashville Ballet embraces artists who bravely tackle difficult subjects, explore unspoken thoughts, and share authentic and moving choreography that invites viewers into vibrant stories designed to give audiences an up-close look at the beauty and athleticism of dance.
