Allen, the award-winning, highly acclaimed director, choreographer, author, dancer, and actor invited to select the pieces on the 2022 Playlist program, never had opportunity to meet Morgan in person. The original connection was initiated by Dina Bartello, the Oakland Symphony’s director of development. Bartello had held the same position at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy, just one of Allen’s activities that include a position as artist-in-residence at the Kennedy Center for over 15 years and serving as executive producer, director, and actress on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy.
