Nutcracker Family Benefit

The Nutcracker Family Benefit delivers a performance experience that goes above and beyond the stage! This annual holiday tradition features a special matinee performance of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker® followed by a festive holiday party on the Promenade of the David H. Koch Theater. Most importantly, the Benefit helps raise funds for New York City Ballet and its Education Programs, as well as the School of American Ballet’s Scholarship Fund. Your support allows us to continue offering these important programs making this beautiful art form accessible to children of all ages and backgrounds.
