Symphonic Blues is a journey through the soul-stirring history of the Delta Blues. One of the earliest-known styles of the genre, Delta Blues originated in the Mississippi Delta. Symphonic Blues merges the raw emotion of this music with the expressive depth of an orchestra. Founded and narrated by legendary actor Morgan Freeman, the show features performances by veterans of orchestras as well as the Delta Blues, coming together in a genre-bending, multimedia project that brings the story of this music to life. Born from the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi—recognized as one of the top blues clubs in the world– Symphonic Blues traces the origins of the Delta Blues along the Mississippi River to its profound influence on global music and culture.
