Details

“Silhouettes, a brilliant set of miniatures.”
-Boston Globe
“Richard Cumming’s jazz-tinted piano suite is an eloquent setting for this competitive and playful duet. Silhouettes is at once breezy and substantive.”
-Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Mr. Morris’s witty new Silhouettes is an imaginative response to its score . . . an invigoratingly, charmingly political piece.”
-The New York Times
_“The balance of power constantly shifts… what starts competitively evolves into a love feast.”
-San Francisco Examiner
“Playing off each other, sometimes in imitation and sometimes in counterpoint, [the two dancers] end with a fancy, strutting cakewalk in joyous unison.”
-The Atlanta Journal
