Philadelphia Ballet – Dancing With Gershwin

Works by George Balanchine, with the music of George Gershwin, Tchaikovsky, and Stravinsky

Set to Tchaikovsky’s sumptuous Piano Concerto No. 2, Ballet Imperial evokes images of Russia’s bygone era with a technically demanding display of classical technique.

In striking contrast, Agon strips away elaborate costumes and scenery in exchange for a minimalist masterpiece complete with friend and collaborator Igor Stravinsky’s avant-garde score.

George Gershwin’s quintessentially jazzy and playful tunes serve as the backdrop for Who Cares?, a high-spirited celebration of the hustle and bustle of city life.
