Porgy and Bess Praised In Philharmonic Season Finale
Review notes the Philharmonic's last concert of the season praised Porgy and Bess with Carey and Washington delivering dramatic duets. Washington's soprano solos and a strong overall performance by Conductor Gene C. Smith highlight the program. Openers include Rossini's Barber of Seville overture with noted instrumental soloists. Renewals for 1977-78 reportedly began at intermission.

They performed Don Quichotte a Dulcinée with Carey as soloist, and the program closed with Capriccio Espagnol and a Spanish fandango.
