George Balanchine, who famously choreographed multiple ballets to composer Igor Stravinsky’s scores, once said: “I like Stravinsky's music. It is so strict, so solid. It never comes apart. You cannot improvise upon it. It's built like mathematics.” See three of his ballets set to Stravinsky's music: Apollo, Orpheus, and Agon (seen here) on the Stravinsky & Balanchine program, JAN 22, 24, 26 eve & FEB 1, 2 mat: nycballet.com/stravinsky | New York City Ballet

It also originally included an additional solo for Paul Taylor, who was a member of Graham's company at the time of its premiere. While we usually perform the ballet sans Taylor’s solo, this year we will feature it in honor of the late dance-maker. See Episodes this winter: nycballet.com/1920 | New York City Ballet | Facebook
