<First published online in the New York Times on May 9, 2014>. New York City Ballet’s spring gala on Thursday at the David H. Koch Theater was, for many reasons, exciting.

A World Premiere of Pure Dance to a Familiar Score
<First published online in the New York Times on February 15, 2015>. Three years ago, Justin Peck had choreographed no professional ballet. Today his works (new commissions and existing pieces) are in demand across America, and he has been resident choreographer at New York City Ballet since July.
