The range of Balanchine’s choreography and musicality are illuminated in this program.
Valse Fantaisie is a captivating dance set to a lilting waltz from the Russian composer Mikhail Glinka.
The jagged choreography for the spiky Kammermusik No. 2 moves in tandem with the modernist score of the title by Paul Hindemith.
Balanchine commissioned Hershy Kay to adapt various popular British tunes for the grand parade of Union Jack, a big-hearted and boisterous tribute to the United Kingdom.
