What's not to love about George Gershwin! He was born in 1898 and died in 1937, and with his brother Ira, they practically owned New York City in the music business in the 20s and 30s. The Rhapsody in Blue is one of his most historic and well-loved creations, but the Concerto in F is even more prominent. It's a romp through three movements with an orchestra and a piano and what we are doing is reducing it to two pianos. Vicki is playing the orchestra on one piano and Johan Botes is playing the lead on the other. It is fabulous! Also, they're playing a two- piano arrangement of tunes from Porgy and Bess and Elizabeth Baer is going to sing a few songs from the Gershwin songbook. This will be a concert to remember! You really won’t want to miss this one. Carnegie Hall could not do it better than these three, and the ticket prices would start at $175.(Plus you would have to pay $35 to park!)
Feb 8, 2026, at 4 PM at Cavendish Hall, where the music rings!
Note: If you come, there is plenty of parking in the front of the hall and on Staunton Avenue. Also, the commercial buildings one and a half blocks away at MacCorkle Avenue always have parking, especially on weekends when our concerts are usually held; and it is a short walk. Please do not park in the grass of the home across the street from the front door.
