The Mark Morris Dance Group’s “Dances to American Music” is a vibrant celebration of the rich tapestry of American music and dance, presented as part of the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026. Featuring choreography by the legendary Mark Morris, this dynamic program includes Going Away Party (music by Bob Wills), Three Preludes (music by George Gershwin), Northwest (music by John Luther Adams), and You’ve Got to be Modernistic (music by James P. Johnson). Mark Morris has captivated global audiences with his profound humanity, humor, and the unique ability to fuse live music and dance into an experience that transcends the ordinary.
