These signature philanthropic occasions not only raise vital funds for New York City Ballet, but also offer guests a unique opportunity to celebrate the Company, its extraordinary dancers, and all of the generous patrons who support the Ballet.

Spring Gala

The gala program, with special guest host Academy Award-winner Ariana DeBose, will be an unforgettable culmination of our year-long tribute to seven and a half decades of unparallelled artistry, innovation, and impact. The evening will feature two world premieres – one by NYCB Resident Choreographer and Tony Award-winner Justin Peck – marking hist 24th ballet for the Company, and a NYCB debut by Amy Hall Gardner, whose work has been seen on a wide array of ballet and theater stages. The program will open with George Balanchine’s Rubies, which epitomizes the distinct energy and athleticism that are hallmarks of the Company to this day.
