Returning to Manhattan after a 35-year absence, Cincinnati Ballet, led by Artistic Director and CEO, Victoria Morgan, will make its Joyce Theater debut featuring three New York premieres, May 6-11, 2014. The program includes Hummingbird in a Box, set to seven new songs by Grammy Award-winning Peter Frampton, Chasing Squirrel, a daring and eccentric work by Trey McIntyre, and Caprice, a new ballet by Val Caniparoli.

Since 1963, Cincinnati Ballet has been the cornerstone professional ballet company of its region, presenting a bold and adventurous array of classical, full-length ballets and contemporary works, regularly with live orchestral accompaniment. Under the artistic direction of Ms. Morgan, Cincinnati Ballet has become a creative force within the larger dance community, commissioning world premiere works and exploring unique collaborations.

Cincinnati Ballet's 50th Anniversary year is particularly demanding, filled with a series of sweeping projects: the company's first performances in New York City in more than 35 years; the world premiere of their full-length King Arthur's Camelot; and the company premiere of George Balanchine's Symphony in C and a massive Swan Lake, both in collaboration with BalletMet Columbus. "I think we've been hugely ambitious with this 50th season," Morgan says. "This is both a challenging and exhilarating time for the company - 50 years is an impressive milestone. We're thrilled to be coming to New York with three sensational new works. I want the dancers and our audiences everywhere to know what Cincinnati can accomplish."

Cincinnati Ballet is visiting New York City as part of CINCY in NYC, a seven-day showcase of the best of the "Queen of the West's" performing arts, including Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music's (CCM) jazz alumni performing at Lincoln Center, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, The Ariel Quartet, and other performing arts related events to be presented around Manhattan.
