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."
