Welcome back the Mark Morris Dance Group (MMDG) for a radiant program of must-see dance, accompanied by live music by the MMDG Music Ensemble. Founded in New York City in 1980, the company has received “highest praise for their technical aplomb, their musicality, and their sheer human authenticity” (Bloomberg News). Over the years, choreographer Mark Morris has created more than 150 dance works that have earned him the title of “the most successful and influential choreographer alive, and indisputably the most musical” (New York Times). This program features audience favorites and rare gems, including Pacific (1995), “a beautiful, contemplative piece” (Dancetabs), set to music of Lou Harrison; Going Away Party (1990), which Critical Dance dubbed "thoroughly enjoyable, a little risqué and laugh-out-loud funny at times;” Rock of Ages (2004), set to music by Franz Schubert; and Castor and Pollux (1980), which the New York Times called “breathtaking” and “ferocious, raw yet precise and in possession of an unquenchable wildness.”

This performance is appropriate for all ages.

Tickets: $60, $51, $36; half-price for youth through Grade 12
