All You Need to Know About Program 03 Before You Watch

Get a quick overview of the three ballets that make up Program 03: Ratmansky’s Symphony #9, an abstract portrait of Shostakovich; Danielle Rowe’s Wooden Dimes, a world premiere created during the COVID-19 pandemic set in the roaring ’20s; and Yuri Possokhov’s Swimmer, which turns John Cheever’s short story into a psychedelic tour of American cultural life.

Alexei Ratmansky’s Symphony #9, Danielle Rowe’s Wooden Dimes world premiere, and Yuri Possokhov’s Swimmer were part of Program 03, streamed March 04–24, on SF Ballet’s 2021 Digital Season.
