Nashville Ballet Brings Lucy Negro Redux to Big Ears in 3 Weeks!

In exactly three weeks, Nashville Ballet, Rhiannon Giddens, and Caroline Randall Williams bring their ballet, Lucy Negro Redux, to Knoxville for its first performances outside of the capital city. We have two performances—one on Thursday as part of Big Ears 2019 and one on Wednesday, which you can witness even if you’re not going to the festival. The New York Times calls it an “artistic miracle”; get your tickets now.
