Manhattan Youth Ballet presents a Fall Season featuring works by George Balanchine, David Parsons and members of the faculty of MYB. The concert version of Balanchine’s “Who Cares?” is set to songs composed by George Gershwin. “Wolfgang” juxtaposes the classical music of Mozart with the modern choreography of David Parsons.  Three couples create beautiful pictures throughout this piece, evincing their accomplished partnering skills. Various qualities subtly characterize each section of the piece.  This dance highlights the dancers’ technique and musicality, while underscoring their ability to make the constant motion seem effortless and fluid. “Goldberg Variations”, full of clean lines, crisp patterns and complex choreography by Francois Perron, Deborah Wingert and Marina Stavitskaya, is set to Bach’s work of the same title.
