"Dancing in its most glorious, spare simplicity!
Here was proof that ballet needn't be ornate to enthrall an audience."

Co-founded by George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, New York City Ballet is one of the largest and most highly esteemed classical ballet companies in the world. Praised for its linear purity, musicality, and unparalleled repertory, New York City Ballet raises the bar for international dance. With the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra, the company brings two of its signature mixed repertory programs reflecting its musical inspirations and celebrated history. The engagement will include influential works by former Ballet Master in Chief Jerome Robbins, to mark 10 years since his passing. The first program, "Balanchine and Robbins," features Serenade, Moves, and Symphony in C. The second program, "Four Voices," featuring Carousel, Zakouski, Agon, and The Concert, refers to the four primary choreographers of New York City Ballet's current repertoire: Wheeldon, Martins, Balanchine, and Robbins.
