Agon isn’t just a favorite for audience members and dancers, but a highlight for those who play the Stravinsky score. Ethan Silverman, New York City Ballet Orchestra’s Associate Bassoon, explains why Agon is the ballet he loves to perform the most in our winter repertory. “It is scored for a large orchestra, but mostly, at any given moment, there are only a few instruments playing, never everyone together.
