... that Russian-born choreographer George Balanchine made the ballet Stars and Stripes (pictured) as a tribute to the United States, his adopted country? Source: "George Balanchine’s “Stars and Stripes” has all the pomp and circumstance of inaugural parades and Fourth of July fireworks. Yet the U.S. capital’s own ballet company has never staged the brisk, 28-minute work that was the Russian choreographer’s ode to American spirit and industriousness." ([1])
- ALT1:... that George Balanchine's ballet Stars and Stripes (pictured) is set to music by John Philip Sousa, who was known for writing marches? Source: "On Saturday afternoon, there was an exuberant performance of Stars and Stripes, one of George Balanchine's excursions into Americana, accompanied by Hershey Kay's adaptations and orchestrations of marches by John Philip Sousa." ([2])
