MacArthur Genius Award-winning choreographer Bill T. Jones has been creating modern dances of profound urgency and relevance for over thirty years, engaging issues of identity and expressing social commentary in ways that have transformed the face of American dance.

Below, watch Bill T. Jones, the Orion String Quartet, and dancers from the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company who joined us for an evening of conversation and celebration of the connections between the very modern and the very classic. Hosted by WQXR’s Terrance McKnight.
