BalletCollective was started by City Ballet dancer Troy Schumacher to showcase his choreographic activities, as well as those of like-minded choreographers working in the contemporary ballet field. He gets dancers from City Ballet to dance with him — and always has great collaborators on his artistic teams. On this program, BalletCollective is joined by Brooklyn's favorite chamber orchestra, The Knights. Two world premieres, choreography by Schumacher and Preston Chamblee to new music by Judd Greenstein and Paul Moravec (I TOLD you Schumacher gets great collaborators). Also, existing pieces by Gabrielle Lamb to music by people like Juliana Barwick, Caleb Burhams, and Geörgy Kurtág (be still my heart). On Wednesday, you can pay $250-$1000 to pretend to be friends with the artists afterward.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Instead, go to Celestine and make your own fun, what with the fabulous river views and good Mediterranean food.
