Richard C. Alston is 'Jasbro Brown' in New Jersey State Opera's 'Porgy and Bess' May 21 & 23


[Richard C. Alston]

The performances of pianist Richard C. Alston are frequently the subject of AfriClassical posts. Today Richard sends us this news:
“Good Morning My Family and Friends, I have accepted the invitation to portray the pianist 'Jasbo Brown' in the New Jersey State Opera production of Gershwin's 'Porgy and Bess.' I made my debut as 'Jasbo Brown' in the Metropolitan Opera House production. I am looking forward to appearing with the New Jersey State Opera in this landmark production at the historic Symphony Hall.
Musically,
Richard 'Jasbo Brown' Alston”

Earlier Tuesday, an announcement was made by Jason Tramm, DMA, Artistic Director, New Jersey State Opera:
