    Duets, trios and quartets punctuate Choreographer in Residence Matthew Neenan's newest piece for Pennsylvania Ballet. The ballet is set in three movements, including two from Borodin's String Quartet #2 in D Major and other Korsakov's String Quartet in F Major. Principal Dancer Martha Chamberlain will create the costumes for the cast of nearly a dozen.

    Robert Weiss’s Octet for Strings uses the first movement of Mendelssohn’s Octet in E-flat and intricately woven patterns in an interesting neo-classical work with four principal couples.

    Audiences will be seduced by the passion of traditional Argentinean tango when married with ballet as Dutch choreographer Hans van Manen finds a place in Pennsylvania Ballet’s repertoire with his 1977 work Five Tangos, driven by a fiery score from the master of tango nuevo Astor Piazzolla.
