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.

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.
