Raymonda Variations was inspired by George Balanchine's admiration of Glazounov's music. He loved what he called its "grand and generous manner, its joy and playfulness".

LAB proudly presents its next commissioned World Premiere My Greatest Fear by Sonya Tayeh, one of the country's most exciting choreographers.

Western Symphony is set on a rugged Old West street populated by cowboys and dance hall girls! The steps Balanchine uses within traditional ballet vocabulary allude to steps, formations, and gestures of American folk dancing. The lively familiar score consists of American folk songs.

The performances of Raymonda Variations and Western Symphony, all Balanchine® Ballets, are presented by arrangement with The Balanchine Trust and have been produced in accordance with the Balanchine Style® and Balanchine Technique® service standards established and provided by the Trust.
