Rhapsody in Blue

Thursday, October 3, 2024
7:30 p.m. // Waco Hall
The opening concert of Maestro Lawrence Loh’s first season as Music Director celebrates the 100th anniversary of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with pianist Orli Shaham. In addition to performing with orchestras all over the world, Orli Shaham is the co-host of NPR’s From the Top, a winner of the Avery Fisher Career Grant and a faculty member at the Juilliard School.

Our concert will explore new frontiers with the rhythmic Danzón No. 2 by Mexican composer Arturo Márquez. Aaron Copland’s powerful Third Symphony remains one of the most iconic American symphonies and features his popular Fanfare for the Common Man. This will truly be a musical journey that will delight the soul!
