Celebrate the rich tapestry of American music and dance with Mark Morris, “the most successful and influential choreographer alive.” (The New York Times) Morris’ signature blend of wit, musicality and emotional depth shine in a program featuring American composers. Enjoy the Philadelphia premieres of two new works set to the jazzy sounds of James P. Johnson and the high-energy rhythmic flair of Louis Moreau Gottschalk. The program also features returning favorites Dancing Honeymoon and Three Preludes, set to George Gershwin. The stunning combination of exceptional dancers, beautifully sophisticated choreography and live music showcases how Morris’ “dances simply feel right, to the eye, intellect and nervous system.” (The Washington Post) Program to include:
