Spring Gala

May 7, 2026

We would be thrilled for you to join us on Thursday, May 7 for an extraordinary celebration of artistry and elegance at New York City Ballet’s 2026 Spring Gala, Set in Stone – Creation & Preservation. The evening will feature a one-night-only program with a world premiere by Principal Dancer Tiler Peck—her second commission for the Company—set to Édouard Lalo’s romantic Symphonie Espagnole in D Minor. This exciting debut will feature world-renowned violinist Hilary Hahn who will perform with the NYCB Orchestra and a cast of over 30 dancers. The program will conclude with George Balanchine’s Diamonds—the grand finale of Jewels set to Tschaikovsky’s regal Symphony No. 3—presented in celebration of the ballet’s upcoming diamond anniversary in 2027.

The 2026 Spring Gala Red Carpet is generously supported by Christie’s.

The gala will begin with a cocktail reception at 5:30 PM with champagne courtesy of Maison Ruinart, followed by the performance at 7 PM, and will conclude with an elegant evening of dinner and dancing on the Promenade of the David H. Koch Theater.
