CELEBRATING OUR FOUNDING CHOREOGRAPHERS, FASHION, AND NEW YORK CITY
NYCB’s 2023 Fall Gala includes two iconic works from our founding choreographers. Excerpts from Balanchine’s Who Cares?—set to Gershwin’s radiant melodies performed by special guest musicians—presents balmy and romantic duets in new costume designs by Wes Gordon for Carolina Herrera. Jerome Robbins’ vibrant Glass Pieces closes this one-time-only program, capturing the pulsating heartbeat of metropolitan life with its electrifying choreography.
