Dallas McMurray’s 20 years with the
Mark Morris Dance Group!

Join us in celebrating two extraordinary artists: Music Director, Colin Fowler,

For two decades, Colin and Dallas have brought remarkable artistry, care, and generosity to Mark Morris’ work, helping to shape performances with depth, integrity, and joy. Their longstanding commitment to the Mark Morris Dance Group and Music Ensemble is a true inspiration.

You can see both Colin and Dallas perform in Dances to American Music in New York City at The Joyce as well as in Katonah, NY at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts.
