Jon Kimura Parker’s sparkling performance of Gershwin’s immortal “jazz piano concerto”, Rhapsody in Blue, headlines this delightful all-American concert. You’ll also enjoy Barber’s soulful Adagio for Strings, and the witty overture to Leonard Bernstein’s operetta, Candide.

At 6:45pm, join Rick Phillips for a relaxed and enlightening discussion about the performance, with a Pre-Concert Chat in the lobby.

This Casual Concert is performed without an intermission and is followed by a party for the whole audience in the lobby. Mingle with TSO musicians and guest artists in a relaxed setting and enjoy live music by Sultans of String.
