Performances: June 21 & June 27, 8pm

Jazz and R&B singer, songwriter, and Grammy Award® winner Gregory Porter makes music that is at once timeless yet utterly of its time. Known for his deep baritone voice paired with provocative and political lyrics, he has “a gift for earthy refinement and soaring uplift” (The New York Times). Porter joins the NSO Pops with conductor Jacomo Bairos for an evening in support of his album Nat King Cole & Me, showcasing his thrilling presence and resonant vocals that won him a 2017 Grammy Award® for Best Jazz Vocal Album. Part of Renée Fleming VOICES.

NOTE: Gregory Porter will sign CDs and other materials following both performances, in the Grand Foyer outside of the Concert Hall.
