Aided by a variety of reference points, this three-part ballet evening delves into the world of the 1950s and ‘60s.

Scottish-born Kenneth MacMillan is one of the leading choreographers of the 20th century. His 1966 ballet «Concerto», set to the music of Shostakovich's second piano concerto, is a celebrated piece of pure choreographic poetry.

In Cathy Marston’s ballet «Mrs. Robinson» – based on the novel «The Graduate» by Charles Webb – a recent college graduate becomes involved with the attractive Mrs. Robinson, a married woman from his parents’ circle of friends.

Leonard Bernstein compiled the musical highlights from his hit musical «West Side Story» in the «Symphonic Dances». Choreographer Bryan Arias, who grew up in Puerto Rico and New York, found his approach to Bernstein’s music in the Puerto Rican carnival.
