A Sparkling Gala Commemorates 90 Years of the School of American Ballet

On Feb. 26, New York’s society set turned out at Lincoln Center to support the New York City Ballet-affiliated school of dance. The evening, with support from Chanel, honored Suki Schorer and Coco Kopelman and treated 1,400 guests to an evening-length performance by School of American Ballet students, with a finale performance by alumni and New York City Ballet principal dancers Tiler Peck and Roman Mejia. Afterward, 500 attendees were joined by City Ballet dancers on the gilded promenade of David H. Koch theater for dinner, wine by Epoch Estate Wines, and dancing to celebrate $1.4 million raised for the school’s next generation of dancers. Notables in attendance included Arie Kopelman, Jonathan Stafford, Wendy Whelan, Jill Kargman, Joshua Greene, Sophie Sumner, Evan Mock, Fe Fendi, Paola Saracino Fendi, Chun Wai Chan, and Unity Phelan.
