Concerto DSCH

Concerto DSCH is a ballet by Alexei Ratmansky choreographed for the New York City Ballet to the music of Dmitri Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Major, Op. 102 (1957). The premiere took place on Thursday, May 29, 2008 at the New York State Theater, Lincoln Center. The ballet's title derives from the composer's use of DSCH, a musical motif in allusion to his own name.[1] Wendy Whelan, one of the originator of the ballet, performed the second movement of the ballet at her farewell performance.[2]
