Season Opener: Visionary Voices

Friday, November 14, 2025 at 7:30pm
Mayo Performing Arts Center 100 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960
The program features three groundbreaking works by some of today’s most compelling choreographers: Jewel Box by Lauren Lovette, inspired by the inner workings of an antique music box—its comb, winding key, and spring housing—evoking the childhood wonder of watching a tiny ballerina spin in timeless motion; In Creases by Justin Peck, an intricately structured, musically driven work set to a score for two pianos—which marked his choreographic debut with New York City Ballet; and New Ancient Strings by Harrison Ball, a richly textured piece that blends classical form with modern edge with costumes designed by Zac Posen. Together, these works reflect ballet’s evolving language—bold, expressive, and unmistakably current.

“I’m going to skip the traditional review guidelines and state right up front–you don’t know what you are missing if you don’t see at least one performance by New Jersey Ballet. The troupe is that amazing.”

“As I’ve observed previously, NJB has evolved, and, to my eye, improved significantly since former NYCB Principal Dancer Maria Kowroski assumed the reigns as NJB’s Artistic Director.”
