The Sarasota Culture Collective held its second event of the season Saturday, Nov. 23., at the Sarasota Opera House. Members were invited to a pre-show party before enjoying the Sarasota Ballet’s performance of Blanchine and Ashton. The program included compositions by George Balachine and Sir Frederick Ashton that were originally created for the New York City Ballet.
