COMING SOON: Editorial commentary on Balanchine: Twin Masterpieces by the American Contemporary Ballet company (ACB) at the Bank of America Plaza will be added in the near future. The two shows were La Source and Concerto Barocco. For now, this entry documents my attendance (3/12/2026 and 3/27/2026–I liked it so much I had to go back) and basic information.
