Porgy and Bess in Concert
Geoffrey Robson, conductor

George and Ira Gershwin's Porgy and Bess comes to life at the first-ever ASO presentation of highlights from this quintessential American classic. The denizens of Catfish Row in Charleston, South Carolina—Porgy, Bess, Clara, and Sportin' Life—sing their unforgettable songs: the gorgeous "Summertime," the romantic "Bess You is My Woman Now," the upbeat "I Got Plenty o' Nuttin'," the seductive "It Ain't Necessarily So," and the chorus intoning complex harmonies during a raging hurricane.
