| Description | A colorful, exuberant all-Gershwin program presented by the 100-member University of Chicago Symphony Orchestra! Award-winning pianist Ko Eun Yi – praised by the Cincinnati Enquirer for her “flawless and dazzling” playing, fille with “élan and fire and a surplus of bravura technique” – joins the USO for Gershwin’s 1926 Concerto in F, which offers the composer’s unique fusion of Jazz, Tin Pan Alley, and Classical traditions. A fresh arrangement of Gershwin’s Three Preludes opens the concert, followed by the composer’s ever-popular An American in Paris, a tone poem crafted “to portray the impression of an American visitor in Paris as he strolls about the city and listens to various street noises and absorbs the French atmosphere” of the famed capital city. |
