WALES — The select choir Voices of Color at Oak Hill High School will be host to a collaborative world premiere of Bangor composer and choreographer Heinrick Snyder’s newest piece, “Beautiful Waters” at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 30, in the OHHS auditorium.

Inspired by the “dance floor,” a unique geographical feature on the coast of Mount Desert Island, “Beautiful Waters” is a celebration of the dance between ocean and coastland — a choral and dance poem that seeks to explore the emotional symbolism and understanding that a stroll on the beach can evoke.

Dance students from Mary Jane’s School of Dance in Lewiston and Cecile Phinney’s The Art of Dance School in Greene will present Snyder’s choreography in this unique collaborative event, along with dance recital pieces including “Greased Lightning” from the musical “Grease,” “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” and “Yours” by Ella Henderson, among others.

Dancing in this world premiere will be Ruby Adams and Alexis Faucher of Sabattus, sisters Haylee and Sierra Janosco of Turner, and Rebekah Tilton of Buckfield. Oak Hill High School’s select choir “Voices of Color” will sing the text of the work, presented against a coastal backdrop created by Sabattus artist Jan Obenhaus. Oak Hill students will collaborate to create the lighting and technical design for the production.

Snyder has danced with the Robinson Ballet, the Bangor Ballet and the Bossov Ballet Theatre and has choreographed works for the Bangor Band, the Arcady Music Festival Ragtime Band, the Bangor Symphony Orchestra and the Bangor State Fair. For the Bangor Ballet he has choreographed “The Little Mermaid” (performed in Vendome, France, in 2008 as part of an international exchange of youth dance troupes and reprised this past spring), and this season’s Bangor Ballet production of “Nutcracker in a Nutshell” contains his work, “Madame Ginger and her Circus.”

His ballet, “Lojosis, a Legend of Northport,” was premiered by Penobscot Theatre in collaboration with the Robinson Ballet? his ballet, “The Spells of Moonwitch,” premiered in 1992 as part of UMaine’s Spring Dance Concert. He has arranged and composed works for “Moogret and Friends,” a youth variety act developed for the Bangor State Fair in the late 1990s; and this past winter, Bangor Ballet presented his works “Norumbega Sunrise” and “Lovebirds.”

The Oak Hill Voices of Color is conducted by John Neal.

Admission to “Beautiful Waters” is free, with donations to the OHHS Music Department gratefully accepted.
