The Centenary of “Rhapsody in Blue”

A special solo recital of American music to bring the world of Gershwin’s genesis to life. I will play works of MacDowell, Nevin and Friml; ragtime novelties of Joplin and Lamb and Alpert; and foxtrot improvisations of George Gershwin as well as his celebrated 1924 blue masterpiece.
