BALLET NOW
As The Music Center wraps up its 14th season of Glorya Kaufman Presents
Dance at The Music Center, Angelenos have the opportunity to see some of
the world’s finest dancers perform a mix of iconic ballets and new pieces in
The Music Center’s BalletNOW™.
Following the popularity of the first BalletNOW in 2015, The Music Center
commissioned this highly innovative three-performance program, featuring
international ballet sensation and New York City Ballet Principal Tiler Peck as
curator. Peck created a mixed repertory to highlight the versatility and athleti-
cism of today’s ballet dancers including pieces that pair classical dancers with
their contemporaries in other dance genres. With BalletNOW, audiences will
be treated to the performances of 24 dance superstars, including dancers
from New York City Ballet, The Royal Ballet, television’s So You Think You
Can Dance, Dorrance Dance, American Ballet Theatre, Paris Opera Ballet and
Miami City Ballet, many of whom will be performing on The Music Center’s
Dorothy Chandler Pavilion stage for the first time.
Each distinct program in the three-performance series features works from
varying choreographers. BalletNOW will be presented with a live orchestra
conducted by Grant Gershon, Kiki & David Gindler artistic director of The
Music Center resident company, Los Angeles Master Chorale, and resident
conductor of The Music Center resident company, LA Opera. BalletNOW is
produced in association with Lexikat Artists.
