At 8:46am, the time the first plane hit the World Trade Center, we will begin to toll the historic bell at the Central Ohio Fire Museum. A solemn tribute to the firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and all emergency personnel who lost their lives in service to others that day. This is a day of remembrance, reflection, and fellowship. We welcome all members of the community to stand with us in honoring these heroes.

Check out this mixed-rep ballet at BalletMet’s newest show. Mixed-rep ballets are several unrelated short ballets with intermissions, similar to a collection of short stories. Each of the three choreographers, selected through a competitive international process, will travel to Columbus and create new works on BalletMet’s extraordinary company of dancers. The result is an evening of visionary world premieres offering audiences an unfiltered look at where ballet is headed.
