RHAPSODY IN BLUE TURNS 1OO
Friday, September 15 at 8:00pm
Alpharetta Methodist Church
Even after 100 years, you’ll know it from the first slide of the clarinet. George Gershwin is one of America’s best-known composers, with the sounds to back it up. Works like Rhapsody in Blue, Porgy and Bess, and An American in Paris all contain tunes that almost everyone will instantly recognize. Joining the Alpharetta Symphony for this evening of jazzy jams will be dynamo pianist Mac Frampton and two talented vocal soloists.
