About The Performance

Classical brilliance, dramatic interaction, and an epic scene of metropolitan life. 

George Balanchine ballets choreographed to music from two composers he revered—Tschaikovsky and Stravinsky—share a program with one of Jerome Robbins’ most beloved works. Tschaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 2, originally created in 1941 as Ballet Imperial, remains among Balanchine’s most opulently beautiful works, endlessly rich in its exploration of classical technique as epitomized by the Russian school at its height. Duo Concertant, by contrast, is among his more minimalist ballets, a pas de deux that includes interplay between the dancers and the onstage pianist and violinist. And Robbins’ Glass Pieces is a continuously mesmerizing dance set to a pulsating, hypnotic score by the contemporary master Philip Glass.
