Miami City Ballet and the New World Symphony are collaborating for the first time, for an April 20 symphony performance that will feature the premiere of a new pas de deux by an up-and-coming New York City Ballet choreographer.
Justin Peck, a young NYCB dancer and recently appointed choreographer-in-residence whose ballets have received favorable reviews from The New York Times and Dance Magazine, recently spent several weeks choreographing Chutes and Ladders for MCB principal dancers Jeanette Delgado and Kleber Rebello. The pair will perform the nine-minute pas de deux, set to Benjamin Britten’s String Quartet No. 1, as part of a New World Symphony evening titled New Work.
The adventurous performance will showcase several new music and video works, most notably the premiere of Canadian composer and multimedia artist Zosha Di Castri’s Lineage, the first artist selected for a collaborative composer project sponsored by New World, the San Francisco Symphony and music publishers Boosey & Hawkes.
Another Miami-related highlight will be a new poetry reading in collaboration with the biennial poetry festival O, Miami.
The performance is at 7:30 p.m. April 20 at the New World Center, 500 17th St., Miami Beach. Tickets are $25 at 305-673-3331 or www.nws.edu.
