A bold triple bill curated by Artistic Director Devon Carney, tracing ballet's past, present, and future with music performed live by the Kansas City Symphony. George Balanchine's The Four Temperaments explores human nature through striking modernist choreography set to Paul Hindemith's score, while Jerome Robbins' Glass Pieces electrifies the stage with hypnotic rhythms set to Philip Glass' music. The program is completed by a bold world premiere work by Melissa Hough, blending emotional depth, striking movement, and innovative storytelling.
