The Program also includes the premiere of David's newest creation, Antico: Seven Antique Fragments, to a selection of Medieval European music; Serious Games (1998), which was originally commissioned by the Canadian Children's Dance Theatre ; and DtDE's signature piece, Miserere, set to music by Grigorio Allegri.

The program will be brought home in April of 2010, with performance at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts and the Guelph River Run Centre .
