A tribute to George Gershwin, featuring An American in Paris, Rhapsody in Blue, and more.
In 1932, George Gershwin's Cuban Overture premiered in New York City as part of the first all-Gershwin concert in history, featuring his greatest hits like Rhapsody in Blue and An American in Paris.
The composer described it as "the most exciting night I have ever had."
Nearly a century later, former LA Phil Associate Conductor Lionel Bringuier recreates this iconic night, celebrating Rhapsody in Blue's 100th anniversary with Gershwin's classical, jazz, and Caribbean rhythms.
The performance features French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Broadway star Tony Yazbeck, and the highly sought-after opera singer Isabel Leonard.
