This production offers a tribute to the influential 20th-century choreographer George Balanchine, considered the founder of neoclassical ballet. The double bill includes his 'Brahms-Schoenberg Quartet' and 'Who Cares?', both originally created for the New York City Ballet. 'Brahms-Schoenberg Quartet' (1966) is noted as Balanchine’s first abstract work, set to Arnold Schoenberg's orchestration of Brahms’s Piano Quartet No. 1. The dynamic, one-act ballet consists of four parts, each reflecting a distinct mood and style. 'Who Cares?', choreographed to music by George Gershwin, is described as one of Balanchine's most joyous works. Its title is taken from a song by George and Ira Gershwin. The ballet evokes the lively spirit of the 1930s, capturing an exuberance that is broadly American and charged with distinctive energy, reminiscent of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
