Mark Morris Dance Group

The program will include Morris's newest work, untitled, performed to Bela Bartok's String Quartet no. 4; "Going Away Party" (1990) to music by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys; "A Spell" (1993) to music by John Wilson; and "V" (2001) to robert Schumann's Quintet in E flat for piano and strings, op.44.
