Porgy and Bess, George Gershwin’s American masterpiece, tells the poignant story of a crippled beggar, the headstrong woman he loves and the community that sustains them both. This successful blend of classical music, popular song, jazz, blues and spirituals boasts the acclaimed songs “Summertime” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So.” The Philharmonic performs this opera in collaboration with the “Negro Spiritual” Scholarship Foundation.
