About The Performance

Dancemakers on the cutting-edge of ballet.

The first ballet created for the Company by Principal Dancer Tiler Peck, Concerto for Two Pianos, named after the melodic Poulenc score, delighted audiences at its premiere in the winter of 2024 with its sweeping energy and effortless elegance. The dance returns accompanied by two pieces new to the repertory, notably comprising NYCB’s first program of ballets all choreographed by women. Signs was created by Gianna Reisen for the School of American Ballet’s annual Workshop Performances in 2022 to selections of music from Philip Glass. Completing the program is the world premiere of a ballet by Caili Quan, a former BalletX dancer whose work draws on her heritage as a Filipina and a member of the Chamorro people of the Mariana Islands, which include Guam, where Quan grew up.
