“As we continue to face the raw emotion, social distance, political upheaval, and racial reckoning of the past year, we’re heartened to come together again for in-person performances. This modest but powerful mix of music and dance projects is presented by some of the most accomplished and urgent artists of our time.” —Philip Bither, McGuire Director and Senior Curator, Performing Arts
