We're bringing a taste of Charleston with us to Boston!

Did you know Gershwin was inspired by Charleston's Gullah culture when composing Porgy and Bess? Although it was his only full-length opera, the work brought us several memorable tunes, including Clara's famous aria "Summertime".

Don't miss your chance to see CofC Orchestra play Gershwin's evocative melody, featuring soprano Laila Dye-Sharpe and fellow CofC Opera students!
