‘Balanchine + Peck’

Dances from Resident Choreographer Justin Peck are united with an ebullient Balanchine classic. In Creases, Peck’s first ballet for the Company, draws on the propulsive music of Philip Glass for an ensemble work rich in geometric patterning.

Peck’s Belles-Lettres has the distinction of being the only dance in the repertory performed to the music of the Belgian-born composer César Franck. Balanchine’s Brahms-Schoenberg Quartet, a ballet in four movements, evokes the majesty of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at its height through its cast of more than 50 dancers and its elegant designs including costumes by the great Karinska.
