About the company
Ballet’s dynamic story in the American West
In 1996, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet Founder Bebe Schweppe invited Tom Mossbrucker and Jean-Philippe Malaty to
create a ballet company in Aspen. A unique, multidimensional arts organization developed rapidly from the ballet
school Schweppe had established in the Rocky Mountains. “Bebe’s vision for Aspen to have its own ballet
company was the project of a lifetime,” says Malaty, ASFB’s Executive Director. “We embarked together on a
serendipitous adventure. More than twenty years later, the connection between the dancers and our two
communities is deep and inextricable.”
Joyce Yang, Piano
Grammy-nominated pianist Joyce Yang came to international attention when she won the silver medal at the 12th
Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2005. The youngest contestant at 19 years old, she also took
home the awards for Best Performance of Chamber Music and of a New Work. A Steinway artist, she received
an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2010 and her first Grammy nomination in 2017 (Best Chamber Music/Small
Ensemble Performance) for her recording of Franck, Kurtag, Previn & Schumann with violinist Augustin
Hadelich. Yang has performed with the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Chicago Symphony,
San Francisco Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and BBC Philharmonic, among many others, working with
such distinguished conductors as James Conlon, Edo de Waart, Manfred Honeck, Lorin Maazel, Leonard Slatkin,
and Jaap van Zweden. She has appeared in recital at New York’s Lincoln Center and Metropolitan Museum,
Washington’s Kennedy Center, Chicago’s Symphony Hall, and Zurich’s Tonhalle. In the 2017/2018 season, Yang
embarks on a journey of debuts, collaborations, and premieres. Highlights include her 12th consecutive appearance
as a guest artist at the Aspen Music Festival, her debut with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra under Edo De
Waart performing Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in five New Zealand cities, a reunion with the Baltimore
Symphony Orchestra for three performances of Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3, and her first collaboration with
the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet on a new work for dancers and solo piano choreographed by Jorma Elo. The work will
receive its world premiere in Aspen this March. Yang will also perform alongside the Nashville Symphony
Orchestra, Lexington Philharmonic, Eugene Symphony, Santa Rosa Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic,
Milwaukee Symphony, Reno Philharmonic, Allentown Symphony, Oklahoma City Philharmonic, Vancouver
Symphony, and Asheville Symphony. She will continue her enduring partnership with longtime collaborators
Alexander String Quartet with performances of works by Schumann and Brahms in California and New York.
Born in Seoul, Korea, in 1986, Yang received her first piano lesson from her aunt at age four. In 1997 she moved
to the United States to study in the pre-college division of the Juilliard School. After winning the Philadelphia
Orchestra’s Greenfield Student Competition, she performed Prokofiev’s Third Piano Concerto with that orchestra
at just twelve years old. Yang appears in the film In the Heart of Music, a documentary about the 2005 Cliburn Competition. www.PianistJoyceYang.com | www.facebook.com/PianistJoyceYang

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet
Bebe Schweppe, Founder, grew up in Augusta, Georgia, and started dancing at the Georgia Dance Theatre,
under Frankie Levy at the age of seven. She was invited by Robert Joffrey to study at his school in New York on
a full scholarship at age eleven. Bebe moved to Aspen in 1975 and fifteen years later founded the Aspen Ballet
School. Her presence was a catalyst in the region. In 1996, she invited Jean-Philippe Malaty and Tom
Mossbrucker to develop a small professional company in Aspen. Through their combined energies, the Aspen
Ballet Company was born a year later. Shortly after, new performing opportunities beckoned in Santa Fe, upon
which the company was renamed Aspen Santa Fe Ballet. Bebe speaks with pride when she considers the changes
that have occurred over the years to her “baby”. “The Company has evolved to having earned a name of its own
ASFB. What a treat! It is recognized by other artists and respected by all. This is of course due in large part
to Jean-Philippe and Tom.” She cites that “their strength has been in their unique ability to perceive and design a
repertoire that entertains all parts, whether it’s the audience or the dancer.” Tom and Jean-Philippe have “greatly
succeeded” in realizing her dreams for the company, she says. “I am thankful that I had the dream and was lucky
and persistent enough to convince JP and Tom to relocate from New York City. Never did I imagine that one
day the company would be performing nationally and internationally and never did I imagine that one day they
would be performing works by internationally famous choreographers. Although I had the dream, I never
imagined so much. I feel very lucky.”
