A Gershwin Tribute – Monday, 21 May at 7pm
From the soaring clarinet riff and infectious rhythms of Rhapsody in Blue to the poignant sounds of "Summertime" in Porgy and Bess, George Gershwin gave the world some of the most memorable music ever written.
In this program, Bramwell Tovey will conduct and play the jazz-inflected piano solos in Rhapsody in Blue. And Canadian soprano Tracy Dahl will make her Sydney Symphony debut with favourites from the Gershwin songbook, including "They can't take that away from me" and "Fascinatin' rhythm".
Join us for this tribute to Gershwin the pianist, Gershwin the spinner of songs and Gershwin the man we love.
