Gershwin’s iconic score takes us on a Parisian sojourn filled with American influence and the blues.

Scored for large orchestra and women’s voices, with stage direction by Anne Kauffman, scenic design by Jeff Sugg, and production by Bang on a Can, you won’t want to miss one of the cultural events of the year in Mississippi.
