DESCRIPTION:Jul 30\, 2026\nIt may be a coincidence that the choreographer M
 ark Morris has devoted this nation’s 250th anniversary to dances to Amer
 ican music\, but the Seattle native is a pure product of America. He’s A
 merican in his empirical\, iconoclastic approach to music\, disregarding i
 ts accrued meanings for what he hears in the score. He’s American becaus
 e irony comes easily and is a conduit of sincerity. He’s American for sp
 eaking plainly when he’s being profound and for making you feel\, not th
 ink. The Mark Morris Dance Group and Music Ensemble ends its American year
  with one recent and three repertory works. For the 2025 Northwest\, the c
 horeographer turns to the composer and longtime Alaskan John Luther Adams 
 for an adaptation for harp and percussion of Indigenous Alaskan dances. In
  their walking pace and the glow that the notes sustain long after they’
 re struck\, the short numbers bring to mind the late composer and gamelan 
 devotee Lou Harrison\, whose music drove Morris to forge a bewitching bond
  between force and poignancy. In the masterpiece Jenn and Spencer\, to ano
 ther West Coast maverick\, Henry Cowell\, the equally unlikely bond is bet
 ween tenderness and ferocity. Two early pieces\, to Gershwin piano prelude
 s and to popular song\, complete the rich program.
