Annual Luncheon
FEBRUARY 13, 2025
We hope you will join us for our 2025 Annual Luncheon, a highlight of the city's winter social calendar, taking place on Thursday, February 13. This year's event will celebrate the 100th birthday of NYCB Principal Dancer and American dance legend Maria Tallchief. A revolutionary of her time, Tallchief was the first Native American prima ballerina and had a profound impact on NYCB’s history. Featuring excerpts from several ballets in which she originated leading roles, including George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker® and Firebird, this program will highlight Tallchief’s influential legacy as we hear from dancers who performed alongside her, as well as those she impacted throughout her career and beyond.
The afternoon will begin at 11 AM with the onstage program, followed by an elegant seated luncheon on the Promenade of the David H. Koch Theater. The 2025 Annual Luncheon is generously sponsored by Ralph Lauren. For more information about this year's event please contact the Special Events office at specialevents@nycballet.com.
