Suzanne Farrell, principal ballerina of the New York City Ballet, toured with the Chicago City Ballet in 1984 as Guest Artist, a collaboration that resulted in an Emmy award. Maria Tallchief was the founder of the CCB and at the time of this performance was co-artistic director with Paul Mejia, the choreographer of “Eight by Adler“, a suite of tunes by Richard Adler.
