New York Ballet plays tonight in Rudder Russian pianist play Wednesday afternoon By JULIE POLSTON Feature Writer of THE BATTALION The New York City Ballet will perform a 'He T) tribute to George Balanchine in irommage a Balanchine" tonight in Rudder Auditori um. Under the direction of former principal dancer Peter Martins, the 17 dancers will perform several pieces from a variety of works by Balancnine set to the music of Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Gershwin and Sousa. The New York City Ballet is the largest dance company in the United States. The organization has about 100 dancers and an active repertory of about 100 works, princi- ally choreographed by Balanchine and erome Robbins. Balanchine, whose training lies in the tra dition of great Russian ballet, came to the United States from Europe in late 1933 at the request of Lincoln Kirstein. Kirstein, who had the idea for what is now known as the New York City Ballet, wanted to create an American school of bal let to rival the European schools, as well as to establish an American ballet company. Balanchine is one of ballet's most cele brated contemporary choreographers, and he has created 435 dances in his lifetime. In 1978, Balanchine was one of five recip ients of the first Kennedy Center Honors E resented by President Carter at the White [ouse. He has also been acknowledged by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and the National Society of Arts and Letters. He re ceived the Austrian Cross of Honor for Sci ence and Letters. Shortly before his death in 1983, Balan chine received the Presidential Medal of Freedom— the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a civilian in the United States. "Hommage a Balanchine" will be per formed Oct. 13 and 14 at 8 p.m., and is spon sored by the MSC Opera and Performing Arts Society. Tickets will be half-price for all students on Oct. 14.
