with a fearless zest and makes them seem fresh and alive” following the company’s
fall engagement. Under the auspices of the Kennedy Center, Suzanne Farrell’s
international company of dancers returns to the Eisenhower Theater for its
third full engagement. The company will present a program of Balanchine works as part
of the Kennedy Center Tchaikovsky Festival and a second program currently
titled “The Balanchine Couple” – exploring the unique relationship between
the great choreographer and his dancers. The Kennedy Center engagement will
be preceded by a 7-week national tour that will include stops in California,
New York, and Pennsylvania, among others.
