Janet Eilber, artistic director
The most celebrated modern dance company in America makes a visit to Athens.
The Martha Graham Dance Company exemplifies its founder’s timeless and uniquely American style of dance — one that has influenced generations of artists and continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
The ensemble will perform Appalachian Spring — Graham’s legendary signature piece set to Aaron Copland’s iconic music and accompanied by a chamber orchestra of local musicians — along with the reimagined Canticle for Innocent Comedians. This performance promises to be one of the absolute highlights of the season.
Pre-performance talk by the artistic director in the Fine Arts Building at 6:45 pm (free admission).
