Yuri Possokhov, who became SF Ballet's Choreographer in Residence after retiring from dancing for SF Ballet in 2006, recalls Balanchine's Violin Concerto as one of his favorite ballets by the choreographer which he danced many times. Possokhov approaches Stravinsky's score with fresh eyes, however. "I needed to do this now," Possokhov said. "My memory of Balanchine comes back, of course, but this impulse gives me the chance to express myself." Violin Concerto showcases Possokhov's musicality and is set on seven couples and one lead ballerina.
