Encore WALLCAST® Concert: Stravinsky and Balanchine
For a special Culture Crawl, NWS and Miami City Ballet will host a free encore WALLCAST® concert from their joint performance on February 1, 2020 that celebrated Igor Stravinsky and George Balanchine, two icons of the 20th century whose decades-long friendship proved to be one of the most prolific artistic pairings of their time. Blending music and movement, the two cultural giants gave the world unforgettable productions and inspired students Michael Tilson Thomas and Lourdes Lopez, who now embolden the next generation of artists in our Miami Beach community. Included in this tribute is Apollo—their first collaboration inspired by the Greek God of music and his muse visitors. World-renowned violinist James Ehnes performs Stravinsky’s Concerto, which becomes even more mind-blowing when paired with Balanchine’s choreography. Stravinsky’s raucous Circus Polka comes alive with immersive projections by video artist Emily Eckstein.
