Join us for an online program focused on the works of George Gershwin, acclaimed American composer and pianist whose compositions spanned popular, jazz and classical genres. We will hear actual recordings of Gershwin himself - including the first recording of "Rhapsody in Blue" and "An American in Paris", as well as solo piano recordings of his best known songs. We hope to see you there!
