Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall

Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue

Makato Ozone delivers his "thrilling, unabashedly personal rendition" (New York Times) of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue — a jazzy, kaleidoscopic tribute to the kinetic energy of America's cities in the 1920s. And composed the same year as the Gershwin, Bartók's Miraculous Mandarin channels the turmoil of post–World War I Europe in a scandalous tale of sex, violence, and the supernatural.

Derrick Skye: Prisms, Cycles, Leaps 
Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue
