Simply Gershwin
Simply Gershwin is a celebration of the much-admired works of George Gershwin, often regarded as the greatest of the popular music composers and recognised for bringing the jazz style to the piano concerto.
The show will include classic orchestral compositions alongside a selection of show-stopping numbers written in collaboration with his lyricist brother, Ira. One of the most talented of the first generation of musical theatre composers, George Gershwin successfully bridged the gap between concert hall and Broadway.
This performance from the Gershwin songbook of music, song and dance will include: ‘Rhapsody In Blue’, ‘I’ve Got A Crush On You’, ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’, ‘Oh, Lady Be Good!’, ‘Fascinating Rhythm’, ‘S Wonderful’, ‘Strike Up The Band’, ‘A Foggy Day’ and highlights from ‘Porgy and Bess’ such as ‘Summertime’ and ‘It Ain’t Necessarily So’.
Expect Broadway glamour and toe-tapping tunes in an all-Gershwin extravaganza performed by acclaimed pianist Viv McLean and leading singers Gweneth-Ann Jeffers and Njabulo Madlala.
