À propos de cet audio
In the whirlwind of recent days, Morgan Freeman's name has lit up both the entertainment world and social media feeds, proving once again why he remains one of the most enduring and intriguing figures in American culture. The headline event at the center of Morgan’s public life right now is his celebrated project, Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience. This spectacular journey through the history of the blues, with immersive orchestral performances, multimedia visuals, and Freeman’s unmistakable narration, sold out its September 12th performance at Lehigh University’s Zoellner Arts Center—an event that had fans clamoring for waitlist spots, as reported by Lehigh Valley News. The next major sighting for fans will be at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg with the Florida Orchestra on September 25th, where Freeman is slated for both a recorded narration and a live introduction, according to The Florida Orchestra and Florida Orchestra’s events calendar.
Freeman, ever the champion of blues music, has been actively involved with Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi, which he co-founded nearly 25 years ago. This club has launched the careers of young legends like Christone “Kingfish” Ingram. Freeman has been on record lately, speaking passionately about how “Symphonic Blues” brings together rich Mississippi Delta blues traditions and symphonic music, serving up not just entertainment but education on the roots and influence of blues on contemporary music. His narration for the show was recorded at Ground Zero, and the buzz includes news that a live album is on the way, with a portion of proceeds going to support artists through the Ground Zero Arts Foundation, building on Freeman’s legacy as a mentor and patron.
As for big-screen news, Freeman’s acting career is still very much alive at age 88. He has two films recently released—“My Friend Zoe” and “Gunner”—with another, “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t,” set for theatrical release on November 14. Freeman commented in interviews that although he’s “kind of old now,” he’s far from slowing down, and takes life “one day at a time.”
Now, let’s address some noise from social media: Morgan Freeman found himself the subject of a viral controversy this week, not because of anything he did, but due to an X account falsely using his name to allege Donald Trump ordered a high-profile shooting. According to Primetimer, the real Morgan Freeman had nothing to do with the tweet, and his official handle remained silent on the matter. It’s a stark reminder that in the world of celebrity, misinformation can travel fast, but Freeman himself continues to stay above the fray, focused on music, movies, and mentorship.
