Classical music triumvirate Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn create a powerful repertoire that includes perennial favorite, 'The Magic Flute' Overture, for Maestro Thierry Fischer's sixth Masterworks concert today and tomorrow, November 15 and 16 with Utah Symphony, and acclaimed guest pianist Ronald Brautigam.

Ten dancers of all shapes and sizes take the stage in uniform black costumes. The lights come up, and we see them standing in height order, center stage, in a vertical line.

There are dancers of all different technical levels, and they are even experiencing difficulty keeping time with the music. But the dancers smirk and even giggle with each other, so I am curious; I know something must be up.
