Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College’s Immersive Media Performing Arts Center (iMPAC), in partnership with the Mississippi Gulf Coast Symphony, will present Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience on at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 17, at iMPAC on the Harrison County Campus in Gulfport.

The groundbreaking multimedia performance celebrates the power, history and soul of one of America’s most influential musical traditions. The production pairs the Mississippi Gulf Coast Symphony with a live touring blues band, performing custom orchestral arrangements alongside video narration by Freeman and immersive storytelling. Together, they trace the blues from its Mississippi roots to its influence on generations of American music.

Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience bridges classical and contemporary musical traditions while tracing the influence of the blues across generations and genres. Through music, history and visual storytelling, the performance creates a one-of-a-kind concert experience for audiences.

“We’re excited to partner with the Mississippi Gulf Coast Symphony to bring Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience to our community for a one-of-a-kind evening celebrating the music, history and soul of the blues,” said Aaliyah Dock-Caldwell, Director HRM & iMPAC Business Development.

“The blues was born in Mississippi, and there’s no better place to hear it with a full orchestra than iMPAC,” said Jonathan Woodward, president of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Symphony Board of Directors.

The event reflects MGCCC and iMPAC’s continued commitment to creating cultural and educational experiences for students, employees and the surrounding community while building partnerships that bring unique live entertainment experiences to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience begins at 7:30 p.m. on October 17 at iMPAC.
