New York City Ballet: Wheeldon + Martins + Peck

György Ligeti — Selected works (part of 'Polyphonia')
Samuel Barber — Violin Concerto, Op. 14 (part of 'Barber Violin Concerto')
Dan Deacon — USA I–IV (part of 'The Times Are Racing')

Ballets from three choreographers closely associated with the Company are gathered here. Christopher Wheeldon's Polyphonia ranks among his most distinctive and popular works, with its thrillingly spiky choreography set to the modernist music of György Ligeti. Peter Martins's Barber Violin Concerto is the rare dance in the repertory that combines elements of both ballet and modern dance, with one couple barefoot and another sporting traditional ballet footwear. And Justin Peck's The Times Are Racing, a galvanizingly energetic audience favorite since its debut in 2017, finds the dancers in footwear of yet another kind: sneakers.

Runs Jan 25-31.
