Allegro Brillante
Choreography: George Balanchine

Bells

Designed as a meditation on the nature of relationships, Bells exemplifies Possokhov’s ability to blend traditional classicism with modern intensity to create a riveting piece of contemporary ballet. This was the first commission by Yuri Possokhov for The Joffrey Ballet.
