#tbt to 1967 with Balanchine's Muse, Suzanne Farrell and her partner Peter Martins - the original cast of 'Diamonds.' 💎💎💎 Jewels has been called the first full-length abstract ballet. It has three related movements: Emeralds, Rubies, and Diamonds. Each of the three acts features the music of a different composer: Emeralds is set to the music of Fauré, Rubies to the music of Stravinsky and Diamonds to music by Tchaikovsky. #beauty 🎥- Kurt Froman | MDM Dance

Symphony In Three Movements is one of George Balanchine’s most iconic “leotard ballets.” The ballet is a complex and bold work that perfectly personifies Balanchine’s relationship to Stravinsky’s music. “I like Stravinsky's music,” Balanchine once said. “It is so strict, so solid. It never comes apart. You cannot improvise upon it. It's built like mathematics.” See Symphony In Three Movements this spring: nycballet.com/balanchinemeetspeck | New York City Ballet
