Grand Teton Music Festival - Rhapsody in Blue

Festival Orchestra: Rhapsody in Blue

Sir Donald Runnicles, conductor
Michelle Cann, piano
John Adams: Slonimsky’s Earbox
Ravel: Piano Concerto in G
Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue
Debussy: Ibéria from Images

A little bit of New York, a little bit of Paris. America and France are front and center on a program that features not one, but two major works for piano and orchestra with the incomparable Michelle Cann. Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue is turning 100 this year and, like Ravel’s G Major Concerto, it is a perfect calling card for wit, charm and thrilling originality of its creator.

Join us for a pre-concert talk at 5 PM with Stoner Family Education Curator Meaghan Heinrich in the Barbara Furrer Goodman Memorial Garden near Walk Festival Hall’s north entrance. Talks are sponsored by the Goodman Family Foundation, in memory of Roy and Barbara Goodman.

Tickets $40/$85; Children & Students $5
