Performance Overview

Relive the magic of holidays past as “The Nutcracker” makes a triumphant return to Winston-Salem and to its original home at Reynolds High School Auditorium for the upcoming season.

This cherished tradition brings Tchaikovsky’s iconic ballet score to life through the collaboration of students in the Schools of Dance, Music and Design & Production — with choreography by faculty member Ilya Kozadayev and live performance by the UNCSA Symphony Orchestra under the direction of returning “Nutcracker” conductor Karin Hendrickson.

This celebratory homecoming honors tradition while celebrating the living artistry of each new generation that brings “The Nutcracker” to life.
