Patriotic Pops with Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue

Our Independence Day tribute features a world premiere! Gershwin’s jazzy Rhapsody in Blue has been iconic since its debut in 1924, and nearly 100 years later, Peter Boyer has composed a new work in celebration of the centennial. Pianist Jeffrey Biegel, who dreamed up the project, performs both—unveiling Boyer’s Rhapsody in Red, White, and Blue in Utah before taking it to every other U.S. state. Also featuring Gershwin’s Suite from Porgy and Bess, music from John Williams, a Sousa march, and more, this salute to the U.S.A will have you seeing stars!
