Program Description

Body

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!

This event will be presented by Tom Roberts, acclaimed as one of the world’s foremost practitioners of the art of Harlem Stride Piano. He has been featured at Jazz in July at the 92nd St Y, the Professor Longhair Society’s Piano Night at Tipitina’s New Orleans, Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops Orchestra, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and the International Stride Piano Summit in Zurich, Switzerland.
