Blue Rhapsody: 100 Years of Rhapsody in Blue & Concerto in F

OVERVIEW

It’s the ultimate night of Gershwin as we celebrate nearly 100 years of his iconic Rhapsody in Blue and Concerto in F. Inspired by the blues and jazz of the roaring twenties, this evening will feature some of Gershwin’s most beloved pieces, including “How Long Has This Been Going On,” American in Paris, and “Someone to Watch Over Me” with two-time Grammy Award-winning vocalist Sylvia McNair and Kevin Cole, praised as “the best Gershwin pianist since Gershwin himself.”

ASL-INTERPRETED PERFORMANCE: Friday, April 14, 2023

This concert also takes place at the Val A. Browning Center in Ogden on Thursday, April 13. View details >>
