Grand Kyiv Ballet Studio will perform in Corvallis with a highly anticipated performance of Swan Lake on Wednesday at 7:00 pm, performing at the Lasells Stewart Center on campus. The company tours around the world, after beginning their career in France circa 2014. “Our mission has always been to bring professional ballet to audiences everywhere — especially to smaller communities,” Oleksandr Stoianov, the artistic director said. “We were fortunate to bring joy to many people who often told us it was their very first time seeing a ballet,” Stoianov recalls. They have continued to tour the US since then, with a current tour happening now, and shows happening each night throughout the country.
