This landmark event, titled "Rhapsody in Blue at 100," is set to take place on Saturday, July 27, 2024, starting at 8:00 pm. Under the baton of esteemed conductor Carl St.Clair and featuring the virtuosic Jeffrey Biegel on piano, the evening promises an unforgettable journey through Gershwin's masterpiece that seamlessly blends classical music with the vibrant rhythms of American jazz.
