Caili Quan on Making Her First Show for New York City Ballet

Playbill: When Caili Quan listened to Camille Saint-Saëns’ Cello Concerto No.1 in A Minor, she knew she had found the inspiration for her first piece for New York City Ballet, which will have its world premiere at the Fall Fashion Gala on October 9. Quan wanted to use a concerto because she was eager to work with a full orchestra—“a rare opportunity,” she says.
