Overview
A Candlelight concert of music by George Gershwin, including Rhapsody in Blue, given at St Mary Le Strand Church in London. The performers are not Gershwin.
Rhapsody in Blue was written by the American composer George Gershwin and premiered in New York in 1924, with Gershwin at the piano and an orchestration by Ferde Grofé. It combines jazz idioms with the concert tradition and is one of the best-known orchestral works of the American repertoire.
This evening is a Candlelight concert, performed by musicians other than Gershwin, so it is a tribute to the composer rather than a performance by Gershwin. Simon Watterton is the name attached to the programme.
St Mary Le Strand Church stands on the Strand in central London. It was designed by James Gibbs and completed in 1717, and it is a religious building in active use.
