Baryshnikov Arts and Orchestra of St. Luke's to Present World Premiere in Spring 2025

Baryshnikov Arts and the Orchestra of St. Luke’s will present an evening-length immersive co-production celebrating two milestone anniversaries—20 and 50 years, respectively—on Thursday, May 8 at 7 PM. This unique evening will feature Vivaldi’s iconic The Four Seasons interspersed with recorded sounds of nature, Angélica Negrón’s Marejada, and Anna Clyne’s Woman Holding a Balance, with lighting design by Jennifer Tipton, a MacArthur fellow and one of the most renowned designers for dance, opera, and theater.

In honor of its 20th year, Baryshnikov Arts is excited to present special performances, support more artists in its pioneering residency programs, and continue to champion creative freedom across artistic disciplines. The entire anniversary season will be announced in January 2025.
