Brooklyn, New York – December 5, 2008 – The Brighton Ballet Theater / School of Russian American Ballet proudly presents its' Winter Holiday Concert at Kingsborough. The performance will be held on Sunday, December 14th, 2008 at 6:00PM at the Leon M. Goldstein Performing Arts Center, located on the campus of Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn, New York. This program is supported in part by Public Funds from The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

Performed by the students of Advanced Division of the School of Russian American Ballet, choreographed by Edouard Kouchnarev, featuring Ludwig Minkus's "Paquita" and an original ballet "Aria", the concert is certain to delight audiences of all ages.

The Brighton Ballet Theater has performed on such acclaimed stages such as Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, Tribeca Performing Arts Center, WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden and many more throughout the Tri-State area. As the sole representative of Russian dance in New York, BBT is often invited to perform at Special Events such as the Opening of the Faberge Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Opening of "Unseen Treasures in Russia" at the New Jersey State Museum, a winter presentation for Diagastino's stores at Jacob Javits Center, a special performance honoring IPO of a Russian telecommunications stock (VIP) on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, an Annual Festival of "From Russia With Love" at the New York Aquarium, and "An Evening with Vivaldi & Verdi" at the Merkin Concert Hall.

A special part of all BBT performances is the original costume design that adorns every dance. All costumes are designed and hand-made by Russian costume designers in New York, who occasionally also collaborate with Russian theaters for materials and production of costumes.

Ukrainian-born Edouard Kouchnarev has danced and choreographed throughout the world. He has been with the Brighton Ballet for over twelve years, staging nine full-scale ballets and numerous dance numbers. In this year's Winter Holiday Concert, he blends dancers from BBT's Junior Company with children from the Advanced Division of School of Russian American Ballet.

BBT is offering discounted concert tickets to senior citizens over the age of 65 and children under the age of 12.

Tickets available for purchase by phone, online or in person.
