Quick Clip: Yuri Possokhov’s Classical Symphony from MAYhem: All Premieres

Enjoy this exclusive interview with choreographer Yuri Possokhov that gives you a sneak peek into Atlanta Ballet's studios as we prepare the exquisite Classical Symphony for our program MAYhem: All Premieres, May 15-17 at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.

The New York Times described it as an "exhilarating and bold display of full-throttle academic pure dance with modern accentuations." Set to Prokofiev’s first symphony, “Classical Symphony,” the ballet is dedicated to Peter Pestov, Yuri Possokhov's former instructor at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow.
