Chris Noth Set To Narrate Summer & The Symphony Grand Finale Concert 7/24

By:

Chris Noth is set to narrate Aaron Copland's Lincoln Portrait July 24. The event will be presented as a part of the San Francisco Symphony's Summer & the Symphony Grand Finale concert. Conducting the concert will be Alondra de la Parra. The concert will begin at 8pm at Davies Symphony Hall.

The finale also includes the UC Berkeley Marching Band in a performance of the hit Broadway tune "Seventy-Six Trombones."

Lincoln Portrait is a classical orchestral work written by the American composer Aaron Copland. The work involves a full orchestra, with particular emphasis on the brass section at climactic moments. The work is narrated with the reading of excerpts of Abraham Lincoln's great documents, including the Gettysburg Address. Lincoln Portrait was written by Copland as part of the World War II patriotic war effort in 1942

Noth is known for two long-running television roles: as Det. Mike Logan on Law & Order and Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and as Mr. Big on Sex and the City. For the latter role, he has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award. He is currently starring in The Good Wife on CBS. Noth has appeared on Broadway in THE BEST MAN and Off-Broadway in FARRAGUT NORTH and WHAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
