Ravel & Gershwin: Classical Meets Jazz

Ravel’s Bolero showcases the composer’s incredible ability as an orchestrator, and Élisabeth Pion makes her ESO debut with his stunning, jazz-influenced Piano Concerto. Highlights from Porgy and Bess, Gershwin’s most successful opera, includes Summertime, the most covered song in history. Gould’s high-energy Symphonette No. 2 completes this sensational, genre-fusing program.

Patrons of this event are invited to attend a prelude presentation before this concert on Saturday, March 29th, starting at 6:45 PM in the Upper Circle Lobby (3rd Floor). This talk by D.T. Baker is a fantastic way to learn more about the pieces being performed in your concert.
