CANCELED: Swan Lake
2023-04-06 19:30 - 21:30 | Fairfield Arts & Convention Center, 200 North Main St, Fairfield, IA, 52556, United States
We regret to announce that Odesa National Ballet of Ukraine has been forced to cancel their highly anticipated performance of Swan Lake at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center this spring. However, we are excited to relay that Ballet Des Moines will be stepping in to replace the canceled performance with a revolutionary production entitled “SHE.”
The cancellation of Swan Lake by the Ukrainian Odesa National Ballet was made necessary by the Russian conflict in the country and the crises it has caused at all levels of society. In an act of solidarity, Ballet Des Moines will offer an alternative production, to be performed at Fairfield Arts & Convention Center on Friday, May 5th. A portion of the proceeds of this new event will go toward supporting the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund.
If you are a ticket holder for the original Swan Lake performance, please look for communication via email and snail mail regarding this change. If you have not been contacted by February 15th, please reach out to boxoffice@fairfieldacc.com or call (641) 472-ARTS.
Ballet Des Moines’ revolutionary performance of “SHE” exemplifies the powerful voices of female representation through the works of three diverse and internationally-recognized choreographers. SHE seeks to promote inclusion and belonging while engaging participants in meaningful dialogue about why representation matters in a vibrant community.
SHE was created with all audiences in mind, recognizing that diversity should be celebrated in all forms. Attendees can expect an immersive experience with each delicate movement complemented by stunning costumes and spectacular lighting design. The choreography is designed so that viewers from any background can appreciate the beauty and technicality of classic ballet while enjoying the uplifting message of unity and hope.
SHE is presented via partnership with Ballet Des Moines in solidarity with the Odesa National Ballet in Ukraine. We are grateful to Ballet Des Moines for stepping in with this groundbreaking performance, and we are humbled by the generous spirit of the international arts community. A portion of the proceeds of this new event will be donated to the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund.
It is an honor to present SHE as a symbol of solidarity with our Ukrainian artist brothers and sisters. We hope that people young and old will feel inspired by these dancers and know that their own voices are powerful, too. We can all speak up against injustice.

Zakir Hussain and Masters of Percussion
2023-03-31 19:30 - 21:30 | Fairfield Arts & Convention Center, 200 North Main St, Fairfield, IA, 52556, United States
We are not planning any weather related changes to the performance schedule this evening, but we urge wise travel decisions and look forward to seeing you safely tonight!
Since 1996, Zakir Hussain has served as curator, conductor, and producer to bring the very cream of Indian music and world percussion to tour America and Europe with his series, Zakir Hussain and Masters of Percussion.
Growing out of his renowned international tabla duet tours with his father, the legendary Ustad Allarakha, Masters of Percussion began as a platform for both popular and rarely heard rhythm traditions from India. While performing and collaborating in India for a few months every year, Zakir has sought and unearthed lesser-known folk and classical traditions which feed into the greater stream of Indian music, playing an educational role in affording them greater visibility, as well as introducing them to audiences in the West. Over time, the constantly changing ensemble has expanded to include great drummers and percussionists from many world traditions.
All of it creates a truly beautiful field from which he can bring Masters of Percussion to the West. This year will be no exception, presenting American audiences with extraordinary, exciting and spontaneous combinations of percussive as well as melodic performances.
The results are absolutely unforgettable. Critics and audiences agree — Masters of Percussion really delivers.

Cross-cutting between two generations, James Ivory’s sprawling epic of self-discovery is also a lush evocation of the prismatic and sensuous beauty of India. As she searches for answers to the mystery surrounding a long-ago affair between her aunt Olivia (Greta Scacchi) and an Indian prince (Shashi Kapoor), Anne (Julie Christie) becomes immersed in the local culture, the pull of the past simultaneously leading her into a clearer view of her own future. Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s screenplay adapts her own novel to great effect, and Richard Robbins and Zakir Hussain provide the haunting score. The film earned the Merchant Ivory team 9 BAFTA nominations and a Palme d’Or nomination at Cannes for director James Ivory.
Zakir Hussain is preforming at the center on March 31st!
Written by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
