Along with Irving Berlin and Cole Porter, George Gershwin remains as one of the most celebrated American composers. Although his most famous compositions were written for piano and/or orchestra (e.g. Rhapsody in Blue and An American in Paris), Gershwin wrote numerous musicals and songs. Come celebrate the life and music of George Gershwin as Dr. Cimarusti presents a lecture-recital exploring Gershwin's unique musical language that found a permanent home in both jazz and classical idioms. This lecture is also available virtually. This lecture takes place 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm.
