SUMMARY:Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Sullivan Fortner\, piano\nKristiina Poska\, conductor \nOften called “the great American opera\,” Porgy and Bess has shaped American culture since 1935\, inspiring artists from Maya Angelou to Miles Davis and Janis Joplin to Sublime. With George Gershwin’s unmistakable gift for melody\, its music—alongside the iconic Rhapsody in Blue—blends jazz and classical styles to capture the vibrant spirit of two iconic American cities with deep musical heritage\, Charleston and New York. \nAfter intermission\, the orchestra surges into Carl Nielsen’s powerful Fourth Symphony\, “The Inextinguishable.” The program marks the Orchestra’s debut performances with Estonian conductor Kristiina Poska and jazz pianist Sullivan Fortner. \nPart of American Panorama: Voices of a Nation at 250 \n“Fortner beautifully\, slowly and deliberately asks the eternal question of the essence of love—his notes dance\, come to a halt and resume the twirls.”—OffBeat Magazine

SUMMARY:Christian McBride & Ursa Major
DESCRIPTION:Christian McBride is an eleven-time Grammy Award-winning bassist\, composer\, and bandleader. He is the jazz advisor of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center\, co-curator of the TD James Moody Jazz Festival\, and co-director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem. In addition\, he hosts NPR’s Jazz Night in America and The Lowdown: Conversations With Christian on SiriusXM. \nWhether behind the bass or away from it\, McBride is always part of the music. From jazz to R&B\, and pop/rock and hip hop/neo-soul to classical\, he is a luminary with one hand ever reaching for new heights\, and the other extended in fellowship—and perhaps the hint of a challenge—inviting us to join him. \nIn Ursa Major\, McBride is joined by four rising young instrumentalists: saxophonist Nicole Glover\, guitarist Ely Perlman\, pianist Mike King\, and drummer Savannah Harris. \nPart of American Panorama: Voices of a Nation at 250 \n“It’s difficult to say whether bassist\, composer and arranger Christian McBride is the most well-liked music personality\, jazz or otherwise\, in recent memory.”—JazzTimes

SUMMARY:Paragon Ragtime Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Step into the early 1900s\, when electricity dazzles\, cars roar to life\, airplanes lift off\, and vaudeville stars are born. Scott Joplin’s irresistible rhythms steal the spotlight in this lively\, one-of-a-kind concert experience in which conductor and pianist Rick Benjamin and his orchestra journey through the nation’s musical roots. Featuring gems by Joplin\, Joseph F. Lamb\, James Scott\, George Botsford\, May Aufderheide\, and Kerry Mills\, this popular slice of Americana brings the music of a bygone era close to home once again. \nPart of American Panorama: Voices of a Nation at 250 \n“Hearing this music\, performed in this setting\, by these people\, is not something you can capture on YouTube\, or even on an album played at home on a good stereo. The experience requires being in the room\, focusing on the stage and its surroundings with eyes\, ears\, and occasionally a tapping foot\, feeling it rawly and cementing it into memory.”—The Syncopated Times

SUMMARY:Artemis
DESCRIPTION:Named for the Greek goddess\, Artemis is a multinational ensemble of instrumental jazz virtuosos. Featuring pianist Renee Rosnes\, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen\, tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover\, bassist Noriko Ueda\, and drummer Allison Miller\, the group blends bold originals with inventive interpretations of standards. \nIn celebration of the recent Miles Davis centennial\, the award-winning band explores the trumpeter’s monumental impact with reimagined arrangements\, largely drawn from Davis’s signature 1960s period.
