Join us for a Prelude Dinner before the concert

Hugo Alfven: Midsummer Vigil
Leroy Anderson: Piano Concerto
George Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue
Shostakovich: Jazz Suite No. 2

In the twentieth century, classical composition began to cross over into the stream of popular music. For the first time, George Gershwin merged the musical idioms of jazz and classical. RSO welcomes the return of Gershwin expert, Jeffrey Biegel, to perform with the RSO on Gershwin’s infamous Rhapsody in Blue and Leroy Anderson’s spirited concerto.

" Mr. Biegel plays with remarkable assurance and maturity, and a deep musicality is always at the heart of his pyrotechnics."
