Koch Theater, showcasing 56 unique ballets to music by 45 composers including 47 performances of George Balanchines The Nutcracker and three student matinees. The 56 ballets performed included eight world-premieres six of them by up-and-coming choreographers and two newly-commissioned scores. Audiences in New York City numbered 321,000, and the Company gave another 31 performances on tour for audiences of 45,000. The Companys fall season featured NYCBs fourth annual Fall Ballet and Fashion Gala on September 30 which continued the tradition of pairing notable fashion designers with emerging choreographers: NYCBs Resident Choreographer Justin Peck, NYCB corps de ballet member Troy Schumacher, The National Ballet of Canadas Choreographic Associate Robert Binet, and San Francisco Ballet dancer and choreographer Myles Thatcher. The fall season also presented the world premiere of a new work by Danish-born, British-based choreographer Kim Brandstrup, set to Debussys Jeux, which was his first work for an American dance company. The winter season featured a milestone for Resident Choreographer Justin Peck, who premiered his first-ever story ballet for the Company, The Most Incredible Thing featuring a commissioned score by Bryce Dessner. Another highlight of the winter was Peter Martins new staging of La Sylphide in one act, returning to the stage from its spring 2015 premiere. The spring season included two programs dedicated to works created within the past decade, including NYCBs Spring Gala program featuring the world premiere of Christopher Wheeldons American Rhapsody. Bookending the spring season were two full-length Balanchine ballets: Jewels, and, continuing a longstanding NYCB springtime tradition, A Midsummer Nights Dream. Throughout the season, the Company performed six All-Balanchine programs, with two evenings dedicated to his famous Black and White leotard ballets. Additionally, in winter 2016 Andrew Litton was welcomed as New York City Ballets new Music Director and has been praised with bringing a new vitality to the orchestra. 3439837 3324850 During New York City Ballets annual residencies at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center during the summer, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the spring, the Company gave 21 performances. The smaller chamber ensemble Moves travelled to Jackson, WY, for three performances at the Jackson Hole Center for the Arts, which has become an annual venue for Moves, in addition to performances at the Granada Theatre in Santa Barbara, the San Diego Civic Center, the Charleston Gaillard Center, and Ferguson Center for the Arts in Newport News, VA. In total, the Company reached approximately 45,000 audience members while on tour. 1308951 163934 The Company reached over 18,000 students, children with special needs and adults with educational programming and workshops. During the 2015-2016 season, New York City Ballets suite of three in-school residency programs - The Nutcracker Project, Ballet Tales, and Project Ballet - reached 4,800 public school children in 182 classrooms in 35 elementary schools in four boroughs. This is an increase of over 1,000 students from the 2014-2015 season programs. A key component of each residency is students attendance at a matinee performance especially for them. Company dancers and musicians perform full-length performances in costume on the Companys stage accompanied by the NYCB Orchestra; for many students, it is their first time attending a professional performance. In addition to expanding its educational initiatives in classrooms, NYCB reached new audiences through its public programs for children, young adults, and families. During the 2015-2016 season, NYCB continued outreach efforts for our three Family Saturdays programs to City Council members and other community groups, including organizations that serve deaf children and families, to offer $5 tickets (regular priced tickets to Family Saturdays are $22). The total discounted tickets for all three Family Saturdays programs amounted to 470 for the year, double the number from the prior season. Overall attendance at the three programs was 6,037 audience members. Throughout the Companys regularly scheduled season, interactive workshops for children and adults take place at NYCB studios. Led by an NYCB teaching artist or Company dancer, workshops introduce participants to basic ballet vocabulary, movement combinations, and short excerpts that coincide with current repertory being performed. During the 2015-2016 season, 580 children, families, and medical personnel participated in NYCBs programs for young people with special needs. NYCB continued its partnership with the Weinberg Family Center for Cerebral Palsy which began in 2014. Principal Dancers led free customized movement workshops, and volunteer medical staff from Columbia assisted the participating children. A total of four workshops with an average of 20 children in each were held at the Rose Building studios. NYCB also developed customized programming for children with special needs in partnership with other medical institutions. In its partnerships with NYU Langone RUSK and Mount Sinai Hospital, NYCB identified ways to interact with children unable to leave their care facilities. Company dancers and teaching artists visited children at NYU Langone RUSK and led three movement workshops in the spring and fall. Patients who were able to receive medical clearance attended a performance at the Theater to continue their experience with the Company. At Mount Sinai Hospital, NYCB participated in a 30-minute televised program broadcast via the hospitals networked in-room televisions, giving patients the opportunity to participate in a question and answer session with Company dancers. In 2015-2016 NYCB began a partnership with the International Academy of Hope, whose population primarily consists of students with traumatic brain injuries, and Company dancers led two workshops for young children currently enrolled at the school. 30000 71070238 true true false false false false false false false true true true false false true true true false false false true false false true true false false true false true false false false false false true false false true false false false true false false false false true X 189 0 true 898 true true true true CA CJ BF MP false false false true true false false false false X 48 48 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AL CA CO CT DC FL IL KS ME MD MA MI MN NH NJ NY OH OR PA RI SC VA WI X FARANG AZARI 2128707776 70 LINCOLN CENTER New York NY 100236580 X Jay S Fishman Chairman 6.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Darren Walker Vice-Chair 3.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Sarah Jessica Parker Vice-Chair 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Robert I Lipp President 6.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Gordon B Pattee Treasurer 3.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Kristin Kennedy Clark Secretary 3.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Randal R Craft Jr Counsel 8.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Maria- Cristina Anzola Director 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Zoe Baird Director (as of 6/2016) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ajay Banga Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Maria Bartiromo Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ronald N Beck Director 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Howard P Berkowitz Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Franci J Blassberg Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Donya Archer Bommer Director 5.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Daniel Brodsky Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Vincent Brun Director (through 4/2016) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ursula M Burns Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jane Chace Carroll Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Debra Martin Chase DIRECTOR 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Stuart H Coleman director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 David E Dangoor Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Barbara R Evans Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Lisa Marie Falcone Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Meyer Feldberg Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Barry S Friedberg Director 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Eugene P Grisanti Director (through 6/2016) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 David Heleniak Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Pamela J Joyner Director (through 4/2016) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Marianne Lake Director 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ricki Lander Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Carol D Mack Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Christian Meissner Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Clark Murphy Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Karen Murphy Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Marie Nugent-Head Director 5.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey M Peek Director 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Hugues De Pins Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Robert Pitts Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Stephen Kroll Reidy Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Denise Saul Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Alan Schnitzer Director (as of 1/2016) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Barbara J Slifka DIRECTOR 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Denise Sobel Director (through 6/2016) 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Howard Solomon Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Lesley Stahl Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Ruth S Stanton Director 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Bonnie Strauss Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Cathinka Wahlstrom Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Dr Sue Ann Weinberg Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Honorable Kimba M Wood Director 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 William H Wright II Director 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Peter Martins Ballet Master in Chief 40.0 0.0 X 850000 0 35569 Katherine Brown Executive Director 40.0 X 495802 0 45714 Farang Azari chief financial officer 40.0 0.0 X 259411 0 49855 Karen Leies Senior Director of Development 40.0 0.0 X 277109 0 51793 Brooks Parsons Senior Director of Operations 40.0 0.0 X 261058 0 50759 Cameron Grant Pianist 40.0 0.0 X 229076 0 84360 Andrew Sill Assistant Music Director 40.0 0.0 X 228492 0 49160 Ellen Sorrin Dir.
