about the event
It might be the middle of winter, but you’ll be singing “Summertime….and the livin’ is easy” when the Springfield Symphony performs George Gershwin’s symphonic portrait from his African-American opera Porgy and Bess. We also perform the music of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Zhou Long in his thrilling and cacophonous symphonic work The Rhyme of Taigu, inspired by Japanese Taiko drumming.
This concert is in honor of Judy Hellam.
