This evening’s class is an exhaustive survey of America’s greatest composer, George Gershwin. I will perform the solo version of “Rhapsody in Blue” as well as my own solo version of Gershwin’s rarely-heard Second Rhapsody (“Rhapsody in Rivets”). With my TU colleague, the spectacular pianist Charles Abramovic, we will essay duo-piano versions of the Cuban Overture and “An American in Paris.” More delights will follow — foxtrot improvisations from Gershwin’s piano rolls, and Dana Suesse’s rarely-heard duo-piano arrangements of Gershwin songs.
No absences will be allowed! from this essential course that you’ll enjoy from beginning to end.
The concert will be held at Temple University’s Rock Hall, at the corner of Broad Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue.
