About the event

A Conversation with Morgan Freeman
Renowned actor, producer, director and narrator Morgan Freeman is one of the most recognizable figures in American cinema. With a career that spans more than five decades, his work has garnered numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a nomination for a Tony Award. He was honored with the Kennedy Center Honor in 2008, an AFI Life Achievement Award in 2011, and the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2012. Part of this work includes Morgan Freeman Presents: Symphonic Blues, a live concert experience narrated by Freeman himself that explores the music, culture and legacy of the birthplace of the Blues, and highlights the Delta’s vibrant heritage and the vital role of Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi, a cornerstone of Blues preservation.

In a week considering “Past Informs Present: How to Harness History,” Freeman will discuss the rich history and heritage of Blues music in American culture — and work being done to preserve and celebrate that legacy — as part of the Chautauqua Lecture Series in the morning on Aug. 19, 2025, before introducing Symphonic Blues with the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra that evening in the Amphitheater. Born in Memphis, Freeman grew up in the Mississippi Delta — where he still resides — and as a co-founder and co-owner of Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi, he is dedicated to improving the lives of people in the Mississippi Delta.
