Fancy Free is headlined by Jerome Robbins' Fancy Free, and includes Peter Martins' Barber Violin Concerto and Harald Lander's Études. Robbins' Fancy Free was the master choreographer's first ballet, premiered on April 18, 1944. It would become one of his greatest successes and be one of the most popular ballets in American history. The work marked the emergence of both Robbins' talent as a choreographer and the talents of a young composer, Leonard Bernstein. Fancy Free follows the story of sailors on shore leave getting into a bit of romantic mischief.
