Bathed in white, two couples take the stage for a brilliant series of pas de deux in the Company premiere of Peter Martins’s Barber Violin Concerto. The piece embodies the lyrical movement of Samuel Barber’s inventive piece that bridges from an opening adagio to its final scherzo, exploring the dichotomy between classical ballet and modern dance in three movements.
