  • Neoclassical Choreographer GEORGE BALANCHINE (1904–83) (Program 01: Symphony in C) Is One of the 20Th Century’S Most Influential and Innovative Artists
    Neoclassical choreographer GEORGE BALANCHINE (1904–83) (Program 01: Symphony in C) is one of the 20th century’s most influential and innovative artists. Born in St. Petersburg, he trained at the Imperial Ballet School and joined the Mariinsky Ballet before leaving Russia to become ballet master for Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes in Paris. There, Balanchine choreographed several ballets, including Prodigal Son and Apollon Musagète (later renamed Apollo). After Diaghilev’s death, Balanchine worked in Europe until arts patron Lincoln Kirstein invited him to start a company in the U.S. “But first a school,” was Balanchine’s famous reply, and he founded the School of American Ballet in 1934. In 1946, he and Kirstein started Ballet Society, which later became New York City Ballet. As ballet master and principal choreographer, Balanchine created more than 400 dance works, many of which are in the repertory of SF Ballet. AUGUST BOURNONVILLE (1805–79) (Program 04: La Sylphide) was a Danish dancer, choreographer, ballet master, and director of the Royal Danish Ballet from 1848–77. After training in Copenhagen with his father and choreographer Vincenzo Galeotti at the Royal Ballet School and in Paris with dancer Auguste Vestris, he joined the Royal Danish Ballet as a soloist. In 1830, he shifted his attention to choreography, creating a unique style that emphasized lightness, beauty, quick footwork, and expressive mime work. At a time when European ballet favored female dancers, Bournonville’s ballets gave equal weight to male and female roles. Only a few of his ballets have survived, including La Sylphide (1836), Napoli (1842), and The Kermesse in Bruges (1851).
