However\, the Rhapsody is just one of several masterworks that Gershwin’s boundless imagination produced during the 1920s. \nShe also dives into Gershwin’s extraordinary although painfully short life\, how he conceived this music\, his deeply influential Jewish immigrant roots and how they are part of our universal Gershwin experience.
