This episode of City Ballet The Podcast is the
first ever Hear the Dance recorded live from a recent
Inside NYCB presentation hosted by Silas Farley on the uniquely
fruitful collaboration between George Balanchine and Igor
Stravinsky. Silas is joined on stage by Company members and
musicians from the NYCB Orchestra for demonstrations of excerpts
from the Stravinsky/Balanchine partnership, as well as conductor
Clotilde Otranto and Kay Mazzo, Chairman of the Faculty School of
American Ballet and a former NYCB principal dancer, to discuss the
music and choreography of the two titans’ careers. (56:06)
