Strike Up the Band! The Cincinnati Metropolitan Orchestra is presenting
an all Gershwin concert to celebrate the American composer who used
his own style of jazz infused rhythms to write some of the most
recognized music of all time. The CMO, along with the Metropolitan
Singers, will perform excerpts from Porgy and Bess, I Got Rhythm, An
American in Paris and the Latin inspired Cuban Overture. And, of
course, there couldn’t be a Gershwin concert without his most famous
composition, Rhapsody in Blue, performed by pianist Alex Carroll.
