Excerpt: George Balanchine (January 22, 1904 - April 30, 1983), born Giorgi Balanchivadze (Georgian: ) in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to a Georgian father and a Russian mother, was one of the 20th century's most famous choreographers, a developer of ballet in the United States, co-founder and balletmaster of New York City Ballet. He was a choreographer known for his musicality; he expressed music with dance and worked extensively with Igor Stravinsky. Thirty-nine of his 400 ballets were choreographed to music by Stravinsky. Balanchine's family was composed largely of composers and soldiers. His father was the noted Georgian composer Meliton Balanchivadze (1862-1937), was one of the initiators of the Georgian Opera. George's brother, Andria Balanchivadze (1906-1992), became a well-known Georgian composer. As a child, Balanchine was not particularly interested in ballet. His mother loved the art and had the young Giorgi audition with his sister, who shared her mother's passion for ballet. Based on his audition, during 1913 (at age nine) Balanchine relocated from rural Finland to Saint Petersburg and was accepted into the Imperial Ballet School, principal school of the Imperial Ballet, where he was a student of Pavel Gerdt and Samuil Andrianov (Pavel's son-in-law). After the Bolsheviks won the Russian Revolution of 1917, they closed and disbanded the school as an elitist symbol of the Czarist regime. To survive the privation and martial law of this period, Balanchine played the piano - for food, not for money - at cabarets and silent movie theatres. Eventually the Imperial Ballet School reopened, but with greatly reduced funding from the government. After graduating with honours during 1921, Balanchine enrolled in the Petrograd Conservatory while working in the corps de ballet at The State Academic Theatre for Opera and Ballet (formerly the State Theater of Opera and Ballet and known as the Mariinsky Ballet). His studies at the conservatory included advanced piano, music theory,
