A sonic and visual feast fusing Russian ballet and a live rock concert with symphonic touches, Heart Of Storm formed when rock musicians including renowned keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater), drummer Gregg Bissonette (Ringo Starr, Electric Light Orchestra), lead guitar Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio, Revolution Saints), bassist Tony Franklin (The Firm, Jimmy Page, Paul Rodgers) and rhythm guitarist Brent Woods (Warrant, Sebastian Bach) and alto saxophonist  Brandon Fields (Tower Of Power, George Benson) came together with an original post rock instrumental composition. The music needed a strong visual and the group teamed with the young and talented Russian-Korean choreographer Stas Tsoy.The result is Heart Of Storm an explosive and theatrical rock ballet extravaganza.

"When I first heard about the idea about combining rock and ballet I was intrigued," says lead guitarist Doug Aldrich. "I've been rehearsing with a killer band that Derek (Sherinian) put together for this show, and it's seriously cool, more of a perfect match than I could have ever expected. With the ballet it's combining two important arts and still very Rock n' Roll. I'm excited for this show."

This hybrid progressive rock concert fused with stunning, young Russian ballet talent - spanning the Bolshoi Theatre, Swan Lake and the Nutcracker - inherits the tradition of classical ballet, while charting new territory into live, emotional theater. U.S. audiences are invited to witness the short, tumultuous story of a young Major named Storm will take you to the depths of the labyrinth of Life, Death and Love.
