Saturday, January 27 at 11 AM: The Legacy of George Balanchine's Apollo
Join us as we explore the masterwork George Balanchine referred to as the “turning point” in his life: Apollo. Choreographed in 1928 for the Ballet Russes, Apollo is one of the oldest Balanchine ballets in NYCB’s repertory and the first major work created with his long-time collaborator Igor Stravinsky. See Apollo anew at this presentation, which will feature coaching demonstrations led by Ballet Master in Chief Peter Martins, and hear insights from the NYCB dancers who have performed this iconic ballet.

This spring we honor American dance innovator and New York City Ballet Co-Founding Choreographer Jerome Robbins with the Robbins 100 festival.

Join NYCB for this special presentation exploring the career of a choreographer who captured the spirit of an American generation. This program will feature discussions with artists who were deeply influenced by Robbins’ works, and will also include performances of excerpts from his catalogue of timeless ballets.
