Pennsylvania Ballet Presents: Speed and Precision

Pennsylvania Ballet's 52nd Season opens up with expressive movement driven by epic music in George Balanchine's Concerto Barocco

Pennsylvania Ballet’s 52nd Season opens up with expressive movement driven by epic music. In George Balanchine’s Concerto Barocco, the first ballet performed by Pennsylvania Ballet in 1963, the dancers wearing simple costumes inspired by practice clothes to portray movement inspired by the syncopation and rhythm of Johann Sebastian Bach’s vivacious score. A company premiere for Pennsylvania Ballet, Wayne McGregor’s Chroma brings sensory surprises to the stage with sumptuous movement, a disruption of space and a driving score by Joby Talbot with orchestrations of songs by the White Stripes. Another company premiere for Pennsylvania Ballet, Christopher Wheeldon’s DGV conveys the timeless romance of travel alongside the wonder of modern technology through dynamic rhythms and shifting sound landscapes by Michael Nyman.
