George Balanchine, who famously choreographed multiple ballets to composer Igor Stravinsky’s scores, once said: “I like Stravinsky's music. It is so strict, so solid. It never comes apart. You cannot improvise upon it. It's built like mathematics.” See three of his ballets set to Stravinsky's music: Apollo, Orpheus, and Agon (seen here) on the Stravinsky & Balanchine program, JAN 22, 24, 26 eve & FEB 1, 2 mat: nycballet.com/stravinsky | New York City Ballet
