Concordians perform in critically-acclaimed production of 'Porgy and Bess'

Several current and former Concordia music students have roles in Opéra de Montréal's critically-acclaimed and sold out production of Porgy and Bess, a classic masterpiece by George Gershwin.

Chantale Nurse (BFA 07) plays Clara, one of the leads, and choristers include Yves-Aimé Pierre (BFA 07), Rica François (BFA 08), Myrtle Thomas (BFA 00), Karim Forde (BFA 03) as well as current students Jay Sherwood, Chris Thomas and Ruben Brutus.

All of the students were taught by Associate Professor Jeri Brown during their time at Concordia.

Porgy and Bess ran from January 25 to February 3, 2014 at Place-des-Arts.
