About the Production
The Ballad of Polly Vaughn by composer Bill Vanaver is a symphonic ballet for chamber orchestra with chorus with alto soloist. The folk ballet is based on an Appalachian ballad, with Southern Mountain styling throughout, and depicts the story of Polly who is shot by her beloved, tragically having mistaken her for a swan. The work was premiered with choreography by Livia Vanaver and performed with the Vanaver Caravan dancers, who danced onstage with the Hudson Valley Philharmonic at the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston, NY on March 31, 2012.
