🎭🎷 On this day in 1935, Gershwin's Porgy and Bess premiered! Set in Charleston, South Carolina in the early 1930s, the piece challenged the taboos and prejudices of mainstream classical music by depicting a Black community and combining European orchestral techniques, American jazz, and popular music. Let's remember soprano Kathleen Battle's immaculate phrasing as she performs "Summertime" here in a 1990 recital at the Museum of Art in NYC! 🎭🎷 https://bit.ly/4emKiJr | medici.tv
