Classic Gershwin

Classic Gershwin weaves the vibrant music of the ever-popular composer George Gershwin with fascinating story of his life-from his birth in the colourful, teeming New York of 1898 to his tragically early death in 1937

With prize-winning pianist and famed Gershwin interpreter Viv McLean and renowned classical actress Susan Porrett narrating, this production presents an intriguing, eclectic mix of Gershwin’s music from the much-loved Rhapsody in Blue, I got Rhythm Variations and Swanee to the rarely played, classical Preludes and the virtuoso challenge of the Piano Concerto.
