For this spectacular engagement, its first on the Koch Theater stage, the company performs two programs that include New York premieres of commissioned contemporary works by some of today’s most heralded choreographers: Justin Peck, Alexei Ratmansky, and Liam Scarlett. Also on tap —Twyla Tharp’s Sweet Fields and classic pieces created by legendary choreographer George Balanchine.
The special opening night gala performance is a magnificent one, featuring Balanchine’s Serenade and Ratmansky’s Symphonic Dances.
