In honor of African-American History Month, we are excited to present the "Afro-American Symphony" by William Grant Still. Still was the first African-American to have a symphony performed by a major symphony orchestra and the first to conduct a major orchestra. We will also play Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess", and welcome Todd Payne back to our stage to sing spirituals and present his very moving interpretation of Martin Luther Kings, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
