New York Theatre Ballet will present three ballets in an unforgettable evening. The program includes an untitled World Premiere set to Philip Glass’ Piano Etudes choreographed by Steven Melendez and Zhong-Jing Fang, featuring the NYU Steel Drum Ensemble led by Jonathan Haas, Director of NYU Percussion Program, as well as Jerome Robbins’ Antique Epigraphs and Richard Alston’s Such Longing.
Melendez and Fang’s untitled World Premiere piece centers around the Individual, exploring one’s unique experiences and feelings. Each audience member will find a reflection of them self and walk away with something different. The company will also revive Jerome Robbins’ Antique Epigraphs, staged by Kyra Nichols to Debussy’s “6 Épigraphes antiques”, and Richard Alston’s Such Longing to “Mazurkas” by Frédéric Chopin.
