For his newest creation for New York City Ballet, Resident Choreographer Justin Peck will create a dance to a commissioned score by composer Nico Muhly titled Rotunda. Completing the program is Christopher Wheeldon’s DGV: Danse à Grande Vitesse, a fleet and intricate dance for a cast of more than 25 performed to a minimalist score by Michael Nyman.
Rotunda returns to the repertoire in the spring season in a program that also features Oliver Davis and Edwaard Liang's ballet Lineage created for the NYCB's 2019 Fall Fashion Gala.
