ABT Summer Celebration
A Digital Experience
Thursday, July 15, 2021
Join us on July 15th for ABT’s Summer Celebration! Hosted by Renée Elise Goldsberry, ABT’s Summer Celebration will feature new works by Silas Farley, Helen Pickett, and ABT Principal Dancer James Whiteside. First Lady of the United States, Jill Biden, will deliver the welcoming remarks and honorees for the program are “ABT Heroes” – medical advisor Dr. Robert Galvin and ABT champion supporter and actress Jennifer Garner, both of whom have generously offered their time and talent to sustain America’s National Ballet Company® over the past 18 months.
The backdrop of ABT’s Summer Celebration will reflect the spirit of innovation and creativity cultivated throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the Company’s deepened commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. With the recent formation of ABT RISE (Representation and Inclusion Sustain Excellence), a reinvigorated institutional commitment to fostering inclusion and increasing diversity at all levels of the organization, ABT continues to champion, enhance, and support inclusion and diversity on its stages and in classrooms where it operates.
Summer Celebration, hosted on the platform Afterparty, will be free to viewers who register with a valid email address on our website.
