- Information
Description
Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1904, George Balanchine was the 20th century's towering figure of classical ballet.
Coming to America in 1933, Balanchine founded the School of American Ballet and the New York City Ballet, where he hired the Danish-born Peter Martins as a dancer and, later, as a choreographer.
Balanchine and Me is dedicated to Martins's profound artistic relationship with George Balanchine, who taught him a new, freer style of dance, and ultimately entrusted Martins with the future of the New York City Ballet, which Martins went on to lead for 35 years.
This proved to be an inspired choice as Martins led the company to new heights, strengthened it financially, and initiated many innovative new programs.
Peter Martins' insights and anecdotes of working closely with Balanchine are historically important and often highly dramatic.
Balanchine and Me is an indispensable resource to anyone interested in dance and the cultural universe of New York City.
