Gershwin’s Piano Concerto

Michelle Cann performed with the orchestral ensemble led by conductor Kellen Gray at the Frauenthal Theater Stage in Muskegon. The program included Michael Ellis Ingram's "Overture to Jubilee," Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F, and Dawson's "Negro Folk Symphony." These works showcased the influence of American jazz and African-American spirituals. The Frauenthal Center organized the event and also hosted a free Lunch n’ Learn session a few days before, providing background and insights into the concert. Michelle Cann's stature as a classical pianist is underlined by her Grammy Award recognition.
