PROGRAM NOTES

NANTUCKET ATHENEUM DANCE FESTIVAL 2018 By Joseph Carman

New York City Ballet principal dancer Tyler Angle embarks on his sixth season as Artistic Director of the Nantucket Atheneum Dance Festival this year. That makes him the longest standing director in the festival’s eleven-year run. Angle has imprinted his winning aesthetics onto the festival, which runs from July 23–28: Smart choices in repertoire, an abundance of live music (the six musicians this year include two pianists, two violinists, a cellist and a violist), a variety of dance styles, thoughtful planning and zero overplayed warhorse ballet excerpts that so often dominate ballet programs. The splendid dancers hail from, American Ballet Theatre, Houston Ballet, New York City Ballet, and Pacific Northwest Ballet. George Balanchine said that his effervescent workAllegro Brillante contained “everything I know about classical ballet in thirteen minutes.” Exploring the broad range of the andante and adagio passages of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 3, Allegro Brilliante propels the dancers—a lead couple and four additional couples—through a lexicon of ballet vocabulary as patterns change with the rise and fall of the score. The dancers are seemingly windswept across the stage.

JULY 23–28, 2018 7 PROGRAM NOTES

Balanchine choreographed Allegro Brillante in 1956 on the great Native American ballerina Maria Tallchief of New York City Ballet. The piano’s virtuosic passages guide the ballerina through the rapturous moves that elevate the role to one of the highlights of any ballerina’s dream. The additional male and female dancers dance more than most principal dancers do in other ballets. Late in his life, in 1893, Tchaikovsky refashioned his Piano Concerto No. 3 from material for a proposed symphony he had earlier abandoned. But the concerto, like many of Tchaikovsky’s dynamic compositions, almost seems to have been commissioned for the ballet stage. He truly understood the precise rhythms, spacious passages and dramatic undertones that dance requires. Balanchine once said, “I entertain with steps.” Allegro Brilliante is supremely emblematic of that ethos, a superbly crafted showcase of ebullient dancing.

For a Nantucket 2018 world premiere, Angle chose recent Juilliard graduate Austin Goodwin to choreograph a piece to a commissioned score by Christian Frederickson. The 23-year-old prodigy has already had his work shown in Miami and at the Kennedy Center and is recognized as one of the most promising new voices in choreography. Goodwin’s signature choreographic style conveys a sensuous, sinewy movement flow. Frederickson, a Juilliard- trained viola player, began playing music with artists and rockers and now composes music for theater and contemporary dance. His compositions emphasize atmospheric and cinematic tones, which should meld well with Goodwin’s choreographic energy. “I’m excited, too, because this is the first year we’ve branched out and commissioned a piece of music for the dance festival,” says Angle.

When Christopher Wheeldon, Artistic Associate for London’s Royal Ballet and international renowned choreographer, made the pas de deux Liturgy for New York City Ballet in 2003, it was instantly recognized as a 21st century ballet masterpiece. Liturgy was created for the magnificent NYCB ballerina Wendy Whelan and her frequent partner Jock Soto to the compelling score Fratres for violin, strings, and percussion by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. The dance echoes the quiet, mystical score, as the dancers part and reunite in elaborate embraces before they’re enveloped by the dark. Liturgy explores the spiritual solemnity of the music in a way that seems almost ritualistic. The result is one of ballet’s great tour de forces, albeit delivered in hushed tones.

8 NANTUCKET ATHENEUM DANCE FESTIVAL PROGRAM NOTES

This program’s pas de deux from Balanchine’s Chaconne, set to ballet music from the opera Orfeo ed Euridice by Christoph Willibald Glück, was originally choreographed in 1976 on the legendary New York City Ballet ballerina Suzanne Farrell and former New York City Ballet director Peter Martins. Combining sweetness with a profound sense of beauty, the principal dancers move through the choreography in ways poignant, sculptural and courtly. Chaconne possesses a purity that is evident in the angelic atmosphere and silky movement. Alastair Macaulay, the chief dance critic of The New York Times, has said that, “Chaconne is a distillation of the French Baroque spirit in all its ultra elegant subtlety.”

Stanton Welch’s Madame Butterfly, originally choreographed for the Australian Ballet in 1995, has been performed as a full-length story ballet by Houston Ballet (where Welch is the artistic director), Ballet West and the National Ballet of Canada, as well as the Australian company. The heart-rending story of Cio-Cio San and her tragically fatal love for Lieutenant Pinkerton has moved audiences as an opera and subsequently as a ballet. Puccini’s classic score delivers the emotional lyricism and verismo impact that symbolizes Italian opera. The excerpt seen here, the blissful post-wedding pas deux that ends the first act, demands bravura partnering skills, acute timing and deep characterization.

“I think Puccini is the best dance music,” says Welch. “There’s something like Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky in it, swelling and running. You can hear it and visualize movement. Not many operas are like that…The only ones I really loved were the Puccinis. Nothing else made me want to run around. So I fell in love with Butterfly.”

As director of the Nantucket Atheneum Dance Festival, Angle has always desired that the commissioned premieres enjoy a longevity beyond the festival. An example of that is the 2013 Justin Peck ballet Sea Change, which has been performed at other venues around the country. He also likes to expand popular festival works. In 2016, choreographer Melissa Barak created American Trio to a score by Antonin Dvořák. “I asked Melissa if she would choreograph the section immediately preceding the fourth movement of the Dvořák quartet as a kind of introductory piece that we would meld into that finale,” says Angle. As with the original premiere, Angle wanted the ballet to still bridge the gap from the traditional ballet world to a newer reboot. A pas de deux set to the third movement, a scherzo set at the tempo of Molto vivace, will lead into the pas de trois of the fourth movement finale, marked Vivace ma non troppo, of Dvořák’s String Quartet in F major, Op. 96 (dubbed The American

JULY 23–28, 2018 9 PROGRAM NOTES

Quartet.) Written in 1893, the quartet was inspired by Dvořák’s visit to America, especially his encounters with traditional black spiritual songs, which he called “a great and noble school of music.” In addition, Canadian choreographer and Olivier Award winner Crystal Pité has created a solo to the music of Béla Bartók. Pité, who has created works for many international dance companies, is a welcome addition to this year’s festival.

And there you have it: Classical ballet, contemporary movement, superb musicianship, a beautifully curated program of dance, brand new choreography, and 17 of the world’s greatest dancers. What more could one want from a midsummer night’s dream at the Nantucket Atheneum?

CHOREOGRAPHERS GEORGE BALANCHINE 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 at age 29 in late 1933, having accepted an invitation from young American arts patron Lincoln Kirstein (1907-96) to create a ballet company and academy in America. The pair founded the School of American Ballet in 1934 and eventually, after forming and dissolving several companies, launched the New York City Ballet in 1948. In his career, Balanchine created 400 dance works and served as New York City Ballet ballet master and principal choreographer until his death in 1983.
