  Buy Tickets
  The collaboration of Igor Stravinsky and George Balanchine ranks as one of the most fruitful pairings in 20th-century art. Danses Concertantes, the rare Balanchine-Stravinsky ballet not danced in leotards, is a playful work with tart suggestions of humor and bright costumes. Initially presented separately, Monumentum pro Gesualdo and Movements for Piano and Orchestra have been twinned for more than 50 years. Completing the program is the classic Stravinsky Violin Concerto, among the most celebrated of the many dances Balanchine created to the composer’s work.
  
  *This performance includes a See the Music orchestral demonstration providing insights on the music of Danses Concertantes.

  Stravinsky/Balanchine: The Collaboration

Featuring discussion and excerpts performed from some of Stravinsky and Balanchine's innovative works, this program will celebrate and explore their decades-long artistic relationship.

  Dances from Resident Choreographer Justin Peck are united with an ebullient Balanchine classic.

Peck’s Belles-Lettres has the distinction of being the only dance in the repertory performed to the music of the Belgian-born composer César Franck. Balanchine’s Brahms-Schoenberg Quartet, a ballet in four movements, evokes the majesty of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at its height through its cast of more than 50 dancers and its elegant designs including costumes by the great Karinska.

It is presented here alongside Justin Peck’s Spring 2019 premiere Bright, set to a score by the American composer Mark Dancigers, and a premiere from Alexei Ratmansky, bringing together on one program three of today’s most acclaimed dance-makers.

In Creases, Peck’s first ballet for the Company, draws on the propulsive music of Philip Glass for an ensemble work rich in geometric patterning. Peck’s Belles-Lettres has the distinction of being the only dance in the repertory performed to the music of the Belgian-born composer César Franck. Balanchine’s Brahms-Schoenberg Quartet, a ballet in four movements, evokes the majesty of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at its height through its cast of more than 50 dancers and its elegant designs including costumes by the great Karinska.
  Running time: 1 hr 44 min
