New York Times Dance Critic Alastair Macaulay wrote: "The best new choreography I saw in 2008 — Paul Taylor's Beloved Renegade — will be seen in New York in February… We're shown the life-art-muse-death visions of a Romantic artist… Mr. Taylor, in his first use of choral music, makes strikingly differentiated responses to its contrasting orchestral and vocal sonorities."

The 2009 Black Tie Gala will take place on Tuesday, March 3 at New York City Center.
