Celebrate the brave and adventurous voices of four American masters, who boldly combined traditions with their unique perspectives to create a colorful tapestry of sounds, including music from one of the greatest American operas, Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, and the pop-inspired Strum by Jessie Montgomery.
