Description
The program pairs four distinct choreographic works with their musical scores. Balanchine’s neoclassical mythology features in *Apollo* set to Stravinsky, alongside Ashton’s bravura *Rhapsody* pas de deux set to Rachmaninoff. Kylián presents an intimate pas de deux in *Nuages* set to Debussy, while Tharp’s powerful *In the Upper Room* is set to Philip Glass.
