Enjoy a cheap
night out full of priceless, joyful choreography performed beneath
the stars with a performance by the Mark Morris Dance Group at
the Prospect Park bandshell on Saturday, July 17.
Fort Greene’s own critically acclaimed modern dance troupe (pictured
in "Violet Cavern" at the Brooklyn Academy of Music
Opera House in June) will perform Morris’ "My Party"
(1984), "Going Away Party" (1990) and "Grand Duo"
(1993).
In "My Party," the dancers will perform Jean Francaix’s
Trio for strings in C major performed live by Yosuke Kawasaki
on violin, Jessica Troy on viola and Wolfram Koessel on cello.
"Going Away Party" will be performed to music by Bob
Wills and His Texas Playboys; and "Grand Duo," last
seen at Celebrate Brooklyn in 2001, is set to violin and piano
music by Morris’ friend, the late Lou Harrison, performed by
Kawasaki on violin and a Gabriel Kahane on piano.
The event is part of the Celebrate Brooklyn performing arts
series at the bandshell, located in Prospect Park; enter at Prospect
Park West and Ninth Street. Suggested admission is $3. For more
