“Masterworks in Motion” By New Jersey Ballet
THREE CHOREOGRAPHERS: Jerome Robbins “In the Night” is on a program that also includes works by George Balanchine and Peter Martins, to be presented by the New Jersey Ballet at two programs on February 22.
On Saturday, February 22, New Jersey Ballet will present “Masterworks in Motion” at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center (NBPAC), with two performances at 2 and 7:30 p.m. The program features George Balanchine’s Concerto Barocco and Tarantella, Jerome Robbins’ In the Night and Peter Martins’ Hallelujah Junction.
“This program highlights the beauty, innovation and versatility of ballet,” said Artistic Director Maria Kowroski., a former principal dancer with the New York City Ballet. “From Balanchine’s neoclassical precision to Robbins’ emotional depth and Martins’ contemporary energy, these works showcase the full range of the art form. It is an honor for our dancers to share these masterpieces with audiences.”
New Jersey Ballet was founded in 1958 by Carolyn Clark. Kowroski became the company’s artistic director in 2021 after retiring from the New York City Ballet.
New Brunswick Performing Arts Center is at 11 Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick. Visit njpac.org for tickets.
