OUR 1OOTH ANNIVERSARY
Our 2025-26 Season is the culmination of a three-year 100th anniversary celebration exploring the diversity and depth of Martha Graham’s artistic legacy. Programs and events planned for this exciting year include an exhibition at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, a PBS documentary, a new book of photography from NYC Dance Project, Graham/Noguchi set exhibitions, a collaboration with PHILADANCO!, and a range of discussions and educational activities that build on the Company’s legacy of innovation and its present and future vision.
The Company will tour across the US and internationally with Graham masterworks Night Journey, Chronicle, Appalachian Spring, Cave of the Heart, Errand into the Maze, Lamentation, and Diversion of Angels, and will present a world premiere by acclaimed choreographer Hope Boykin, featuring a recently discovered piece of music by Leonard Bernstein, arranged by Christopher Rountree.
