Rodrigo's music has proven popular with choreographers this spring. On May 12-14, Atlanta Ballet presented the world premiere performances of Claudia Schreier's Carnivale, set to Joaquín Rodrigo's delightful and energetic Concierto in Modo Galante, described by the choreographer as "a jubilant, joyful work" as part of a program titled "Significant Others."
