Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue with Michelle Cann

Join the Colorado Symphony 🎶

Experience an unforgettable musical journey as one of today’s most talented pianists, Michelle Cann, takes the stage to perform Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. This iconic piece perfectly fuses classical music, jazz, and Broadway, offering a soundscape that is uniquely American.

In addition to Gershwin, enjoy Florence Price’s Piano Concerto in One Movement, a captivating work shaped by her Late Romantic influences and deep ties to African-American spirituals. Rediscovered from obscurity only fifteen years ago, this masterpiece is brought to life by Cann’s extraordinary talent.

Conductor Peter Oundjian will guide you through the concert’s first half, which pays homage to the ocean with Britten’s Four Sea Interludes and Debussy’s La Mer. Experience the gentle calm of dawn's waves and the tempestuous power of the storm, beautifully depicted through these masterful compositions.
