The July 14 concert is a preview of Greensboro Opera’s upcoming Porgy & Bess production, and will also feature favorite classical songs, EMF said in a press release on Saturday.
Each summer, EMF brings hundreds of young music students from around the world to Guilford College to study classical music with EMF’s acclaimed professors and guest artists. This year, EMF plans to present more than 35 live performances by pre-professional and professional musicians during the festival, which runs from June 26 to July 31.
