The first, Lido Pimienta, composed “sky to hold” for the company in 2021. Knowles is, stunningly, only the second black woman to ever write a score for the NYCB. Excited chatters about “Solange’s Ballet”, formally titled “Play Time”, buzzed through the theater halls. Knowles, however, was without a doubt, the draw of the evening. This is 23-year-old Reisen’s third piece for the ballet. Wednesday’s event was set to honor Sarah Jessica Parker, who serves as its vice chair, (SJP was not in attendance, due to an urgent family matter) heading a board of directors that includes the likes of Laverne Cox, Diane Kruger, Claire Danes, and Elaine Welteroth.

On Wednesday night, the New York City Ballet celebrated the 10th anniversary of its annual all-Fashion Gala.
