Apogee Art Works

"This is my biggest and best composition so far, to which so much of my work over the past decade has formed a prelude. Since my early childhood I have felt the enchantment of the world of Faerie, its unattainable beauty and the perfection of its music compared to the human world, and I've tried to convey all of this through The Faerie Queen."

The Faerie Queen
During the 2005/2006 performance season, the Foundation commissioned its first Artist in Residence, Anton Brejestovski, to compose a major new three act ballet КОРОЛЕВА ФЕЙ (THE FAERIE QUEEN).
Electronically performed excerpts from each act of Mr. Brejestovski's full length original score can be heard by clicking the below links:
The Foundation will soon begin the process of selecting the most talented available choreographer and design team to complete this collaborative project and bring it into production in major international venues.
The deeply nuanced libretto for The Faerie Queen was developed in creative collaboration over the course of the past year by Mr. Brejestovski and Apogee President Kenneth Schneider. It follows the fortunes of Thomas who, by virtue of both extraordinary talents and events, enters the faerie realm and falls in love with the Faerie Queen. His experiences there and his eventual return to the human world serve to highlight these realms' contrasting aesthetics and values. Each of the ballet's three acts contains an inspired pas-de-deux for the ballet's principal dancers.
