In his second mixed bill of the season, new NNTT director David Bintley pairs an original work with two modern dance classics. “Bintley’s Choice” launches with the neo-classical leanings of New York City Ballet founder George Balanchine’s Concerto Barocco, set to music by Bach. Next up is Bintley’s original creation Take Five, choreographed to the jazz standard immortalized by Dave Brubeck. The evening concludes with modern dance titan Twyla Tharp’s In the Upper Room, a dazzling piece that consistently draws roars of approval from the audience.
