OVERVIEW
SYMPHONIE CONCERTANTE
Choreographer: George Balanchine
Music: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
George Balanchine’s Symphonie Concertante makes its long-awaited Houston Ballet debut. Set to Mozart’s radiant score, this neoclassical jewel pairs classical technique with sweeping ensemble patterns that shimmer with brilliant elegance.
MEADOW
Choreographer: Lar Lubovitch
Music: Franz Schubert, Gavin Bryars, Ferruccio Busoni, and William Brohn
Lar Lubovitch’s Meadow blends sculptural movement with an atmospheric score. Harmonious and hypnotic, the ballet invites audiences to discover their own meaning within its shifting landscapes of movement. Originally premiering in 1999 by American Ballet Theatre, Meadow holds special significance for Artistic Director Julie Kent, who danced in the original cast. This Houston Ballet premiere—and the Company’s first work by Lar Lubovitch—marks both an artistic landmark and a personal return.
PECOS BILL
Choreographer: Stanton Welch AM
Music: Matthew Pierce
Stanton Welch’s Pecos Bill is a vibrant, theatrical work filled with humor, heart, and frontier spirit while exploring the poignant romance between the legendary cowboy and his beloved Sluefoot Sue. With playful choreography, tall-tale flair, and a distinctly Texan charm, this revival brings back one of Welch’s most endearing creations.
