Agon, named after the ancient Greek word for contest and struggle, is one of Balanchine’s most famed plotless neoclassical ballets. First staged in 1957, the ballet features a score by Igor Stravinsky and movements based on French court dances. Agon joins Apollo and Orpheus in the winter season’s Stravinsky & Balanchine Greek Trilogy program.

George Balanchine, who famously choreographed multiple ballets to composer Igor Stravinsky’s scores, once said: “I like Stravinsky's music. It is so strict, so solid. It never comes apart. You cannot improvise upon it. It's built like mathematics.” See three of his ballets set to Stravinsky's music: Apollo, Orpheus, and Agon (seen here) on the Stravinsky & Balanchine program, JAN 22, 24, 26 eve & FEB 1, 2 mat: nycballet.com/stravinsky | New York City Ballet

Agon isn’t just a favorite for audience members and dancers, but a highlight for those who play the Stravinsky score. Ethan Silverman, New York City Ballet Orchestra’s Associate Bassoon, explains why Agon is the ballet he loves to perform the most in our winter repertory. “It is scored for a large orchestra, but mostly, at any given moment, there are only a few instruments playing, never everyone together. There are such strange and wonderful combinations of instruments. For example, a xylophone
