Tiler Peck Joins New Chat Series MUSICAL POINT(E)S

New York City Ballet principal dancer Tiler Peck joins a high profile line up of conductors and dancers for new online chat series Musical Point(e)s. Saturdays at 12pm PST this Fall, audiences are invited to join live 90-minute Zoom conversations about famous ballets, unearthing how the movement and music elevate certain works to an iconic level. On September 12th, Peck will take part in a deep dive discussion on George Balanchine's Serenade with NYCB Music Director Andrew Litton. As a NYCB principal dancer since 2009, Tiler Peck has danced featured roles in Balanchine's The Nutcracker, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and of course Serenade, which makes her participation in Musical Point(e)s especially valuable.

Moderated by Maestro Ming Luke, Nashville Ballet Principal Conductor and San Francisco Ballet Principal Guest Conductor, Musical Point(e)s offers fans of internationally loved and endlessly rewatched works, like Swan Lake or The Nutcracker, a chance to connect digitally during a global pandemic.

Sessions are free but space is limited. Audiences must register for live chats at mingluke.com/musical-pointes. Donations will be accepted and support participating artists and companies.
