Pre-concert lecture at 7pm by KUSC's Brian Lauritzen.

With its opening clarinet glissando, bluesy piano riffs, and syncopated rhythms, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue quickly became an American masterpiece and audience favorite. Now, 100 years after its 1924 premiere, we celebrate the work’s vibrant flair with both original and reimagined versions!

The kind of musician who is shaping the future of classical music.
