George Gershwin was at home in many different musical worlds, from Broadway and Hollywood musicals to opera and symphonic works. He was also a terrific pianist who amused and amazed his friends at parties with fascinating piano versions of his songs. This concert shines a light on Gershwin’s many achievements, including performances of many of Gershwin's songs in his own arrangements, including highlights from Porgy and Bess in a stunning arrangement by pianist legend, Earl Wild, and, of course, his most famous composition, Rhapsody in Blue.
