George Gershwin is one of the only composers who truly integrated jazz in all its style, harmony, and soul into larger-scale classical forms. His piano concerto Rhapsody in Blue is a perfect example of that symbiosis: virtuosic piano cadenzas and clear thematic structures are met with carefree jazz rhythms and goofy woodwind solos. Rhapsody in Blue is as fun as it is expressive and as serious as it is silly. Come share the experience of hearing this unique arrangement of the work for piano, strings, and clarinet, along with gems like the Three Preludes, the charming Lullaby for String Quartet, and Embraceable You.

The concert features pianist Daniel Anastasio, praised by The New York Times for his “crisp performance” of a “devilish showpiece,” alongside Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra stars—violinists Jen Betz and Molly Baer, violist DJ Cheek, and cellist Allan Steele with Opus Nova directors Ann Hung and Stas Chernyshev on clarinets.
