Led by Artistic Director Lourdes Lopez, a former New York City Ballet principal dancer who later directed The George Balanchine Foundation, the company performs a program with a trio of works by master ballet choreographers, “It was important for us to open the 85th Anniversary Festival with a premier American ballet company that is quite simply making great work right now under the stellar leadership of its Artistic Director, Lourdes Lopez,” comments Jacob’s Pillow Director Pamela Tatge. “It’s been nearly 20 years since Pillow audiences have had the opportunity to see Miami City Ballet. Their rich programs will showcase the dancers' virtuosity and musicality. We're so excited to welcome them back!” The company’s Pillow program opens with Allegro Brillante, choreographed in 1956 by New York City Ballet co-founder George Balanchine. Balanchine once called the exuberant Allegro Brillante “everything I know about classical ballet in thirteen minutes.” Danced to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s “Piano Concerto No. 3, Op. 75,” the ballet is one of Balanchine’s most joyous, pure dance pieces, characterized by precise dancing and expansive romanticism. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Balanchine (1904-1983) is regarded as the foremost contemporary choreographer in the world of ballet.

    IN BALANCHINE’S CLASSROOM A film by Connie Hochman Theatrical & Festival Booking contacts: Nancy Gerstman & Emily Russo, Zeitgeist Films 212-274-1989 • [email protected] • [email protected] Press contact: Sasha Berman • [email protected] A ZEITGEIST FILMS RELEASE in association with KINO LORBER IN BALANCHINE’S CLASSROOM SYNOPSIS IN BALANCHINE’S CLASSROOM takes us back to the glory years of Balanchine’s New York City Ballet through the remembrances of his former dancers and their quest to fulfill the vision of a genius. Opening the door to his studio, Balanchine’s private laboratory, they reveal new facets of the groundbreaking choreographer: taskmaster, mad scientist, and spiritual teacher. Today, as his former dancers teach a new generation, questions arise: what was the secret of his teaching? Can it be replicated? Filled with never before seen archival footage of Balanchine at work, along with interviews with many of his adored and adoring dancers and those carrying on his legacy today, this is Balanchine as you have never seen him. This film will thrill anyone interested in the intensity of the master-disciple relationship and all who love dance, music, and the creative process. ABOUT GEORGE BALANCHINE [partially excerpted from The George Balanchine Foundation website] Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, George Balanchine (1904-1983) is regarded as the foremost contemporary choreographer in the world of ballet. He came to the United States in 1933 at age 29, at the invitation of the young American arts patron Lincoln Kirstein (1907-96), whose great passions included the dream of creating a ballet company in America.
