The Capital Philharmonic is thrilled to open its 11th season with a concert version of
George Gershwin’s iconic American opera Porgy & Bess, in the
masterful arrangement by Robert Russell Bennett. It promises to be
an unforgettable evening featuring guest artists soprano Heather Hill, a rising
star of Broadway and opera and renowned for her role in the Broadway revival
of Porgy & Bess, and baritone Keith Spencer, known by the Capital Philharmonic’s audience as the visionary creator and star of the world-premiere production of Brothers on Broadway.

Capital Singers Music Director Vinroy D. Brown, Jr. having prepared the
30-voice chorus, will conduct the combined orchestra, soloists, and chorus.
The evening will commence with orchestral works by two esteemed women
composers, as conducted by Ruth Ochs. First, Joan Tower’s 2008 Grammy
Award-winning Made in America, followed by Florence Price’s Ethiopia’s
Shadow in America, a recently rediscovered tone poem from 1932 that
masterfully evokes elements of the African-American experience.
