ABT Studio Company and JKO School Perform at NYU This Spring

Both training grounds for American Ballet Theatre – ABT Studio Company and JKO School – will showcase their talents in their home city this coming May.

Directed by Sasha Radetsky, the ABT Studio Company will present Spring Moves, a program which includes classical, neoclassical, and newly commissioned works. George Balanchine’s Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux, Kenneth MacMillan’s Concerto pas de deux, and a suite from Marius Petipa’s Raymonda will complement premieres by Gemma Bond, Hope Boykin, Houston Thomas, and Aleisha Walker. 

 

“There’s nothing like a homecoming. After touring around the country and abroad, we’re excited to return to our roots in New York City. Spring Moves features a range of classical, neoclassical, and contemporary repertoire – including the New York City Premieres of four thrilling new works – and a special guest appearance by fiery concert pianist Cecile Licad, whose keyboard may well combust during the closing dances. Please join us to see some of ballet’s most promising and versatile young artists leave it all onstage for their home crowd,” said Radetsky.

ABT Studio Company dancers performing in Spring Moves are:

  • Madison Brown
  • Finnian Carmeci
  • Kayke Carvalho
  • YeonSeo Choi
  • Kyra Coco
  • Brady Farrar
  • Ayami Goto
  • Lilia Greyeyes
  • Takumi Miyake
  • Vince Pelegrin
  • Sylvie Squires
  • Alejandro Valera Outlaw

 

ABT STUDIO COMPANY NYC PREMIERES

After winning the esteemed Leventritt Competition award at the age of 20, the Manila-born artist has gone on to be a highly acclaimed pianist worldwide. 

…if it ain’t BA-ROQUE by Hope Boykin, is a new work commissioned for ABT Studio Company, set to music selections by Agostino Steffani, George Frideric Handel, and Antonio Vivaldi performed by Cecilia Bartoli.

Knife’s Edge by Houston Thomas, is a new work commissioned for ABT Studio Company, featuring original music by Johannes Goldbach.
