Three unequivocal masterpieces honor Balanchine’s groundbreaking Black & White ballets. This modernly styled but classically grounded program displays a visual accompaniment to Bach’s double violin concerto, an athletic contest to complement Stravinsky’s dissonant sounds, and an angular exploration of Hindemith’s consuming moods.
LOCATION:David H. Koch TheaterRUNNING TIME:2 hr
BALANCHINE BLACK & WHITE
Concerto Barocco
Music by: Johann Sebastian Bach
Choreography by: George Balanchine
One of Balanchine’s greatest masterpieces, Concerto Barocco is music made visible as two elegant yet dynamic lead ballerinas each depict one of the instrumental soloists in a virtuosic double violin concerto.
Agon
Music by: Igor Stravinsky
Choreography by: George Balanchine
The apex of Balanchine’s collaborations with Igor Stravinsky, Agon is an intense masterpiece and signature NYCB work, ever contemporary in its athletic competitiveness.
The Four Temperaments
Music by: Paul Hindemith
Choreography by: George Balanchine
A ballet with unceasing appeal, The Four Temperaments references the medieval concept of psychological humors through its classically grounded but definitively modern movement.
