Mark Morris is a world-renowned choreographer of great ambition and endless invention; a dance master, though still brilliantly sculpting his legacy. He is also an unusual figure in the depth of his commitment to dance as a live music experience. Mark Morris uses recorded music only when artistically necessary and sticking to this standard is a challenge that is also an enormous part of his artistic success. Both dance and music breathe and live in a Mark Morris Dance Group performance.

"Morris is our Mozart of modern dance.”
—The Washington Post

"Music is in the flesh and in the moment, and it joins together those who hear it in a way that’s both ancient and inexplicable.” —Mark Morris
