We the People by Jamar Roberts

The Martha Graham Dance Company’s centennial continues with three monumental pieces: Graham’s 1947 Night Journey, a rarely seen work based on Oedipus; We the People, with a folk score by Rhiannon Giddens, a 2024 creation inspired by Graham’s longstanding sociopolitical critique; and a world premiere entitled En Masse that extends The Soraya’s commitment to Graham’s collaborations with composers. This new commission, choreographed by Hope Boykin, is a first-ever pairing of Graham and Leonard Bernstein. Their posthumous partnership, inspired by a musical excerpt discovered in their correspondence, headlines Graham’s worldwide centennial. Wild Up performs Christopher Rountree’s new arrangement of Bernstein, as well as William Schuman’s score for Night Journey.
