Ovation! is Central West Ballet’s new guild of established young professionals. With Kate Griffin Mello and Angela Burge as its founders, Ovation! is being established to give Central West Ballet a strong support toward its development as a professional ballet company. Both returning from the Bay Area, Kate Griffin Mello and Angela Burge’s leadership within our community is a great benefit to the growth of the cultural architecture of our community.

On a quest of appreciation and celebration of the performing arts, Ovation! reflects the reality of the excitment instilled by the advent of the Gallo Center for the Arts.
