Presenting a whole new spin on the music of one of America’s most celebrated composers, this is all Gershwin interpreted like never before, with an all-star line-up from the heart of Sydney's jazz scene. 

The project brings excerpts of Rhapsody in Blue to the jazz stage, featuring excerpts of the original piano score arranged and accompanied by the trio, with voice singing some of the classic orchestral themes throughout. The performance opens with the Rhapsody’s true classical-esque beginning, moves through the different worlds of Gershwin for the body of the show, closing with the Rhapsody's grand, majestic ending.

The show comprises music from Crazy for You, Porgy and Bess, An American in Paris and Concerto in F, plus other exciting gems from the classical and popular worlds of George Gershwin.

Some of the program includes specifically: The man I love, Embraceable You, There’s a boat that's leaving soon for New York, Summertime, an I Got Rhythm/Fascinating Rhythm medley and Home Blues, plus a selection of themes from the Concerto in F and Rhapsody, all together in an exciting, swinging and entertaining program.
