Concerto DSCH brings together striking choreography by Alexei Ratmansky and the evocative music of Dmitri Shostakovich, specifically Piano Concerto No. 2 in F major, Op. 102 (1957). Since its world premiere with the New York City Ballet on May 29, 2008 in New York City, this approximately 22-minute ballet has toured and been staged by major companies around the world, including Pacific Northwest Ballet, Compañía Nacional de Danza (Madrid), and Ballet Nacional de Cuba. The piece references Shostakovich's DSCH motif—D–S–C–H—a musical monogram that anchors the work in a moment of emotional depth and dramatic clarity.
