Gershwin An American in Paris
The Grant Park Music Festival is a 10-week classical music concert series held annually in Chicago, Illinois’ Millennium Park. Featuring the Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus, it is one of the only free outdoor classical-music concert series in the US.
Making his Festival debut, Kedrick Armstrong conducts the Grant Park Orchestra in Gershwin’s jaunty An American In Paris. Experience the propulsive energy of Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson’s Sinfonietta No. 1 and Duke Ellington’s The Three Black Kings alongside Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s lyrical Violin Concerto with soloist Gabriela Lara, an alumna of the Festival’s String Fellowship program.
