Morgan Freeman Brings Symphonic Blues to Louisville Oct. 11
Morgan Freeman, co-founder of Clarksdale’s Ground Zero Blues Club, co-creates and narrates Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience, an immersive production that blends Mississippi Delta blues with full symphony orchestras, cinematic visuals, and storytelling. The show, developed with producer Eric Meirer (also credited in some materials as Eric/Erie Meier), has toured internationally and across the U.S., earning standing ovations in major cities. Upcoming performances include Louisville on Oct. 11 at the Kentucky Center, Toledo on Oct. 30 at the Toledo Museum of Art, and a date at St. Petersburg’s Mahaffey Theater. Freeman frames the program as a historical journey through the blues—its roots in slavery and its influence on hip-hop, soul, jazz, rock and gospel—while centering Delta-born musicians from Ground Zero to maintain authenticity. The project grew out of Ground Zero (opened 2001) to give blues artists a platform, and local coverage links the Louisville engagement to the Louisville Orchestra’s Music Without Borders community programming.
