THE CONCERT

reasons

REASON # 2 JEROME ROBBINS’ THE CONCERT WITH MUSIC BY FREDERIC CHOPIN. See the company premiere of Jerome Robbins’ gleeful look into the secret thoughts and fantasies of a concert audience, along with three additional ballets! Frederic Chopin’s mesmerizing score will be played from the stage by acclaimed concert pianist William Wolfram.

REASON # 3 ZALMAN RAFFAEL’S BOOK OF CONTRADICTIONS WITH MUSIC BY FRANZ LISZT. Created on Franz Liszt’s “Piano Concerto No.2 in A major S.125,” this ballet was entitled “book of contradictions” because the music evokes sounds of resistance and surrender. “Life is filled with contradictions, yet our higher selves still strive to find the good in the bad and the beautiful in the ugly.” – Zalman Raffael

REASON # 4 ROBERT WEISS’ ENDYMION’S SLEEP WITH MUSIC BY J. MARK SCEARCE. When he choreographed Endymion’s Sleep, Weiss was inspired by Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking, her acclaimed memoir about coping with death.

“Memory preserves in our hearts the remembrances of loved ones taken away from this world too young—immortally beautiful in their youth, now sleeping Endymion’s sleep.” – Robert Weiss

REASON # 5 AMY HALL GARNER’S SUITE 44 WITH MUSIC BY DAVE GRUSIN AND KORA JAZZ TRIO. Amy Hall Garner was recently named Carolina Ballet’s Resident Choreographer for our 2022-2023 Season. Her Suite 44 premiered at our first Choreographers Spotlight Series in August 2021.

REASON # 6 LYNNE TAYLOR-CORBETT’S DRACULA. Dracula and The Red Death return to the stage for Halloween, with music composed by J. Mark Scearce. “My fascination with Dracula began as a child when I saw the original Bela Lugosi film based on Bram Stoker’s novel.” – Lynne Taylor-Corbett

REASON # 7 ROBERT WEISS’ THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH. Robert Weiss’ choreography is based on one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most chilling tales. In Poe’s imagination, the Red Death sweeps through towns and villages of Europe in a similar fashion to the Black Plague of the Middle Ages.

ROBERT WEISS’ BEETHOVEN: SYMPHONY NO. 9.

BEETHOVEN: SYMPHONY NO. 9

REASON # 8

In 1974, Robert Weiss saw Maurice Bejart’s interpretation of Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 9” and wondered what it would have been like if a classical choreographer had used that music. After listening to Beethoven’s masterpiece on and off for 36 years, Weiss started choreographing his own interpretation in Summer 2012.

REASON # 9 GEORGE BALANCHINE’S EMERALDS WITH MUSIC BY GABRIEL FAURÉ.

New York City Ballet premiered this magnificent piece on April 13, 1967, with costumes designed by the legendary Barbara Karinska. Emeralds recalls the 19th century dances of the French Romantics. Balanchine considered the ballet “an evocation of France—the France of elegance, comfort, dress, perfume.”

REASON # 12 ROBERT WEISS’ GRIEG: PIANO CONCERTO. A Norwegian composer and pianist who wrote this piano concerto when he was only 24 years old, Edvard Grieg is widely considered one of the main composers of the Romantic era. “Although we live in a completely different time and place, Grieg’s music shows us that there is still the romantic in all of us.” – Robert Weiss

REASON # 13 JEROME ROBBINS’ AFTERNOON OF A FAUN WITH MUSIC BY CLAUDE DEBUSSY. Jerome Robbins, who had a lifelong fascination with Nijinsky, took the stylized and sexually charged 1912 Afternoon of a Faun and transposed it into the demure, asexual language of ballet.

It is set in an empty studio, where the mirror—in which all dancers watch themselves with love and loathing—is depicted

REASON # 14 ZALMAN RAFFAEL’S THE METAPHORICAL HEART WITH MUSIC BY LEONARD BERNSTEIN. The Metaphorical Heart represents different depictions of love, including familial love, romantic love, and burdensome love. “My motivation with this

GRIEG: PIANO CONCERTO

by the fourth wall of stage convention, the audience.

piece was not to create a linear story, but to open our minds and hearts to love, using Bernstein’s highly regarded music.” – Zalman Raffael

REASON # 15 ROBERT WEISS’ THE VISITATION WITH MUSIC BY WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART. “Every artist has a muse. Sometimes they are pleasant, sometimes they are more than one bargained for. No matter what, in the end they are inspiring.” – Robert Weiss.

REASON # 16 ZALMAN RAFFAEL’S MOZART: SYMPHONY NO. 40.

This ballet creates a society that parades and poses as elites. “Mozart subtly captures human undertones, allowing the dancers to portray the refined elements of the symphony while expressing their true natures as well.” – Zalman Raffael

REASON # 17 GEORGE BALANCHINE’S AGON WITH MUSIC BY IGOR STRAVINSKY. The original premiere by New York City Ballet dates back to 1957. “Such music as Stravinsky’s cannot be illustrated. Agon was invented for dancing, but it is hard to invent dancing of a comparable density, quality, metrical insistence, variety, formal mastery, or symmetrical asymmetry.” – George Balanchine

REASON # 18 LYNNE TAYLOR-CORBETT’S CHIAROSCURO WITH MUSIC BY FRANCESCO GEMINIANI. This ballet, like an abstract painting, hints at relationships with loved ones, loss and spiritual rebirth. “In art, chiaroscuro is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition. My ballet, Chiaroscuro, is the journey of a man’s path through the light and shadow of his life.” – Lynne Taylor-Corbett

Based on the work of the Brothers Grimm, the world premiere was choreographed in 1890 by Marius Petipa, ballet master of the Imperial Ballet, who wrote detailed instructions as to the musical requirements.
