Anne Brown
Anne Brown (1912-2009) was an American soprano, best remembered as the original Bess in George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. Born in Baltimore, she studied at Juilliard and worked directly with Gershwin during the creation of the role.
Brown’s career later took her to Europe, where she continued to sing and teach. In the Pristine catalogue she appears in Stokowski’s Beethoven Ninth Symphony and related NBC Symphony material.
