Three Preludes —

The international award-winning Three Preludes was created by Ben Stevenson in 1969 and is performed to selections of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Preludes.

This popular work has been performed in the repertoires of many companies around the world, including American Ballet Theatre, Paris Opera Ballet, and the La Scala Ballet in Milan. The gentle, loving pas de deux is comprised of three movements that develop in both speed and intensity as the emotion between the dancers evolves into passion. Three Preludes was awarded the Gold medal for choreography at the International Ballet Competition in Varna, Bulgaria in 1972.
