Back to All Events
“Rhapsody in Blue is new again, 100 years later. The Soraya recreates the rarely performed original 1924 version of the rousing and raucous classic, originally composed by Gershwin for a jazz band, not the orchestral version more commonly performed. Conductor Chris Rountree leads the swinging ensemble, with Conrad Tao at the piano. The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra rounds out the evening with more charts from Gershwin and his contemporaries.”
