Balanchine’s Serenade: An Evening of Films, Commentary and Memories

In 1934, George Balanchine completed his first original ballet in America, “Serenade.” Today, “Serenade” continues to be a beloved signature work in New York City Ballet’s repertory, and is danced by companies across this and many other nations. In August, Alastair Macaulay, chief dance critic of the “New York Times,” and Robert Greskovic, who writes about dance for the “Wall Street Journal,” chaired a seminar with Balanchine dancers and scholars. Join them now for an evening of rarely seen historic and noteworthy films, photographs, and expert commentary in which they share their findings.
