Stravinsky Violin Concerto Music: Igor Stravinsky Episodes – Arizona Premiere Music: Anton von Webern Rubies Music: Igor Stravinsky “Mr. Andersen is a Balanchine regisseur-stager of rare acuity, and he has made his company one of the most musically intelligent in the world.” - Alastair Macaulay – The New York Times “One of the most striking developments in modern ballet is that there is now a trans-American, even transglobal, Balanchine diaspora. Ballet Arizona ranks among the most significant.” - Alastair Macaulay
