Join us for a glittering evening of great tunes and razzmatazz courtesy of America’s greatest songsmith, George Gershwin. Composer of countless Hollywood and Broadway scores, including Lady Be Good, Strike up the Band and Funny Face, his songs are still the most hummable around and are an indispensable part of any jazz musician’s repertoire. American maestro Andrew Litton conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in this unforgettable Gershwin extravaganza, beginning with the light-hearted overture to Girl Crazy and ending with a parade through the greatest numbers in the Gershwin Songbook. And he also plays a mean piano, too, as you’ll see when he flexes his fingers in Gershwin’s immortal portrait of Manhattan, Rhapsody in Blue. Proceeds from this concert go to Macmillan Cancer Support. Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Glorious Gershwin! website.
