Dance Theatre of Harlem
Harlem on my Mind (excerpt); Choreographed by Darrell Grand Moultrie

American Ballet Theatre
Let Me Sing Forevermore; Choreographed by Jessica Lang
Jessica Lang’s spirited and romantic Let Me Sing Forevermore is set to a medley of American popular songs as sung by Tony Bennett (“Steppin’ Out With My Baby,” “Fly Me To The Moon” and “I Got Rhythm”). The pas de deux melds ballet and jazz dance vocabulary. Let Me Sing Forevermore received its World Premiere on March 23, 2019 at the Erik Bruhn Competition in Toronto, Canada performed by Catherine Hurlin and Aran Bell.

Ballet Hispánico
18+1; Choreographed by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano
18+1 celebrates Gustavo’s 19 years as a choreographer and the vulnerability, care, and hope that comes with each artistic endeavor. In a display of subtle humor and electric choreography, the movement merges with the playful rhythms found in Pérez Prado’s mambo music. Sansano draws from his history and memory to take a joyous look at the past, present, and coming future.

August 18 features the following programming (*subject to change):

New York City Ballet
In Creases; Choreographed by Justin Peck
In Creases is the first work Justin Peck, a former soloist with New York City Ballet, created for the Company. The ballet is set to Philip Glass’ "Four Movements for Two Pianos," and received its world premiere in July 2012 during NYCB’s annual summer residency at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in upstate New York. Peck has since created 18 works for NYCB, and was named the Company’s Resident Choreographer in 2014 and Artistic Advisor in 2019.

Dance Theatre of Harlem
New Bach; Choreographed by Robert Garland
Created by Dance Theatre of Harlem Resident Choreographer Robert Garland for the Company, New Bach was first performed in September 2001, immediately after 9/11. The style of neoclassical ballet created by George Balanchine and cultivated at Dance Theatre of Harlem by Co-founder Arthur Mitchell is at the center and essence of New Bach. It is a supreme expression of Garland’s tongue in cheek description, “post-modern-urban neoclassicism,” infusing popular vernacular dance and Africanist influences within a framework of George Balanchine’s neoclassical ballet influences.

American Ballet Theatre
Songs of Bukovina (excerpts); Choreographed by Alexei Ratmansky
Created by ABT Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky, Songs of Bukovina takes a stroll through a festive village gathering, full of jubilant color and cheer. Set to the music of Leonid Desyatnikov, the ballet rhythmically explores the folk traditions of the Carpathian Mountains. Songs of Bukovina was given its World Premiere on Wednesday, October 18, 2017, danced by Christine Shevchenko and Calvin Royal III.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater
Revelations (excerpts); Choreographed by Alvin Ailey
These excerpts of Alvin Ailey’s enduring classic Revelations call on the choreographer’s ‘blood memories’ of his early childhood in rural Texas and the Baptist Church. However, his masterpiece transcends any particular faith or geography, appealing to universal emotions, which have helped to make it the most widely seen work of modern dance in the world.

Ballet Hispánico
Línea Recta; Choreographed by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa
From one of today’s most sought-after choreographers comes a powerful and resonant work that explores an intriguing aspect of flamenco dance: the conspicuous absence of physical partnering. While maintaining the integrity and hallmark passion of the genre, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa imagines an original and explosive movement language premised upon the theme of partnership and performed to flamenco guitar by Eric Vaarzon Morel.

August 17 features the following programming (*subject to change):

Ballet Hispánico
Tiburones; Choreographed by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa
In Tiburones, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa addresses the discrimination and stereotypes placed upon Latinx culture and the power the media has in portraying these themes by diminishing the voices of Latinx artists. Ochoa will deconstruct gender roles and identity to revitalize an authentic perspective of Puerto Rican icons appropriated within the entertainment industry.

New York City Ballet
In the Night; Choreographed by Jerome Robbins
After the enormous popularity of Dances at a Gathering in 1969, Jerome Robbins built on his love affair with Chopin’s piano works with In the Night. While the earlier ballet primarily uses mazurkas, waltzes, and études, In the Night, which premiered in 1970, conjures up a post-dusk scenario to four of the composer’s nocturnes. Choreographed for three couples of distinct personality, the ballet uses the music as a jumping-off point to explore subtle dance dramas.

Dance Theatre of Harlem
Change; Choreographed by Dianne McIntyre
This work is inspired by women—Black, Brown and Beige—who have refashioned the neighborhood, the country, the world through their vision, courage, and endurance. Often unsung, inconspicuous or up-front, these individuals could be called warriors for change.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater
Lazarus (excerpt); Choreographed by Rennie Harris
