The Concert (or The Perils of Everybody) is a ballet made by Jerome Robbins, subsequently New York City Ballet's ballet master in chief, to Chopin's:

Polonaise "Militaire"
Berceuse, op. 57
Prelude, op. 28, no. 18
Prelude, op. 28, no. 16
Waltz in E minor (posth.)
Prelude, op. 28, no. 7
Prelude, op. 28, no. 4
Mazurka in G major (posth.)
Ballade, op. 47, no. 3.

The décor was by Saul Steinberg, the costumes by Irene Sharaff and the lighting by Ronald Bates; the premiere took place at City Center of Music and Drama, New York, on March 6, 1956. Robbins made three subsequent ballets to Chopin's music: Dances at a Gathering, 1969; In the Night, 1970; and Other Dances, 1976, made on Mikhail Baryshnikov and Natalia Makarova.
