Celebrating Old Times With New: A Premiere
<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. Above all, it celebrated the company’s 50 years at Lincoln Center. And the evening reached its climax with a sensational world premiere: Justin Peck’s 42-minute new ballet, “Everywhere We Go,” a work both diffuse and brilliant whose rich supply of configurations, phrases and rhythms often (if not always) suggests that young Mr. Peck can do anything he wants with choreography: a virtuoso of the form.

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. Not everything he has made, however, has succeeded. It seems fair to ask this season if he will prove one of those rare artists who, having begun with several important successes, can grow further.
