MARK MORRIS DANCE GROUP

THE LOOK OF LOVE: AN EVENING OF DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF BURT BACHARACH

JANUARY 17 | 7:30 P.M. | BASS CONCERT HALL

A legend of American dance returns to Austin with a vibrant and heartfelt tribute to the timeless songs of Burt Bacharach.

In The Look of Love, choreographer Mark Morris sets his signature style—musical, elegant, and emotionally rich—to a treasure trove of Bacharach classics, from “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” to “What the World Needs Now Is Love.” With lyrics by longtime collaborator Hal David, these songs blend soaring melodies with bittersweet reflections on love and longing.

Featuring new arrangements by jazz pianist Ethan Iverson and performed live by an ensemble of piano, trumpet, bass, and drums with Broadway star Marcy Harriell on vocals, this evening-length work brings Bacharach’s chart-topping hits to life through Morris’s exquisite choreography and the extraordinary dancers of Mark Morris Dance Group.
