Press Quotes

  • "Chopin became deified through the Morris choreography..."
    Berkshire Record
  • "Fresh and revelatory, the piece liberates and reinvents the music."
    Chicago Sun-Times
  • "Whatever music he chooses, Morris draws from it patterns of mingling and separating, leading and following, supporting and spurning that are inevitable and surprising, even mysterious."
    Village Voice
