‘21st Century Choreographers IV’

A world premiere from a choreographer making his New York City Ballet debut – Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s Jamar Roberts – joins three other recent works on this program highlighting fresh voices.

The latest ballet from Justin Peck, set to a score from acclaimed composer Nico Muhly and first seen in the winter season, joins Christopher Wheeldon’s lyrical pas de deux This Bitter Earth, danced to a Max Richter remix of Dinah Washington’s recording of the title song, and the return of a new ballet from Edwaard Liang.
