Great American Classics: Gershwin, Glass & Adams May 23, 2007

It's time for great American Music at Carnegie Hall on Wednesday, May 23 , 8 p.m. , when the New York Choral Society will perform a concert version of "Porgy and Bess" by George Gershwin.

Plus there's a piece by the contemporary composer Philip Glass called "Itaipu". For those who don't know his style, think a modern Bolero or Carmina and add the setting of a waterfall in the tropical jungle of Paraguay. Based on the creation myth of Guarani Indians, for whom the Parana River is the place where music was born.
