Raiford Rogers Modern Ballet

Raiford Rogers Modern Ballet presents the world premieres of Who Has Seen the Wind? and Landscape in Blue, alongside the choreographer’s acclaimed Islands in the Sea.

Inspired by Christina Rossetti’s beloved 1852 poem, Who Has Seen the Wind? explores themes of nature, mystery, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. The ballet is set to a rich musical tapestry of works by Maurice Ravel, George Frideric Handel, and Arvo Pärt, specially recorded for the performance with the Grammy Award–winning Parker Quartet and pianist Hui Wu. Through Rogers’ distinctive choreographic voice, poetry and music come together in a work of lyrical beauty and emotional depth.
