Featuring a jazz ‘chamber orchestra’ - comprising of jazz rhythm section, augmented with violin, reed, brass, and tuned percussion - the concert showcases a sparkling selection of Gerwshin’s most popular and acclaimed work, performed across a stunning array of jazz styles. His first hit Swanee as Paul Whiteman would have played it; The Man I Love a la Oscar Peterson; and Lady Be Good as Benny Goodman as imagined by Benny Goodman!

In addition to a Porgy and Bess medley and An American in Paris overture, the concert will – of course - culminate with a complete version of Gershwin’s iconic ‘Rhapsody In Blue’, which has been specially arranged for this concert programme.
