Dances at a Gathering and other works by Robbins, Balanchine, and Peck
With all-live music
Peter Martins, Ballet Master in Chief
No choreographer is more associated with Chopin than Jerome Robbins, who set several major works to his music. The centerpiece of this program is Dances at a Gathering, accompanied by 18 of Chopin's mazurkas, waltzes, and études. The piece premiered in 1969 and became an instant classic, hailed for its invention, virtuosity, and constantly shifting emotions.
