An evening devoted to the unmistakable and brilliant voice of American music.
We begin with the bright forward driving energy of Aaron Copeland’s Outdoor Overture, bursting into life with Copland’s trademark clarity and optimism. That spirit continues into his Music for Movies where the sound world expands into something reflective and nostalgic.

After intermission, we arrive at one of the great landmarks of American opera: George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, presented in concert form. Bringing this world to life are two exceptional Bay Area artists, soprano Shawnette Sulker and baritone Bradley Kynard, with the Eureka Symphony Chorus. Together they inhabit Gershwin’s world with warmth, fire and the kind of immediacy that will put you right on Catfish Row.
