Description Of Event	Gustavo Dudamel explores music by three American composers from the early 20th century. Darker America is William Grant Still�s telling of the story of African Americans in 1924 and �[suggests] triumph over sorrows through fervent prayer.� There are hints of Modernist harmonies from his mentor Edgard Var�se, but Still�s blending of blues, folk, and symphonic sounds is distinctly his own. Aaron Diehl, a critically acclaimed jazz pianist, performs Florence Price�s Piano Concerto, which he said offers touches of Brahms and Chopin but ends with a Juba Dance. �She is not afraid to insert her own musical heritage as a black woman into the music,� Diehl told the Voice of OC. nnGeorge Gershwin�s Porgy and Bess is hailed by many as the first �Great American Opera,� but it also defies easy categorization. Gershwin blends European opera traditions with Broadway musical sensibilities and African American popular music. Not without controversy and mixed reception, Gershwin�s Porgy has created a lasting cultural impact in both the American art world and popular culture.
