SUMMARY:Roundtable by the 92nd Street Y: The Revolutionary George Gershwin\, Lecture 2 - “Jazz and classical are two languages; I try to speak both”
DESCRIPTION:https://www.roundtable.org/live-courses/music/the-revolutionary-george-gershwin-a-composer-beyond-boundaries\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\n\n\nGershwin was already a youthful celebrity when his “Rhapsody in Blue” brought him blazing success. However\, his restless imagination and boundless creativity drove him to continue dreaming up new ways to fuse his Jewish\, jazz\, and classical roots\, ignoring both snobbery and bigotry on the way. In addition to major musical productions with his brother Ira such as “Lady Be Good” and “Funny Face”\, we enjoy his virtuosic Concerto in F and his enchanting paean to the City of Light\, “An American in Paris.” \n\n\n\n\n\n——————————————————————————————————————————————— \nJoin acclaimed pianist Dr. Rachel Franklin as she demonstrates the genius of Gershwin live at the piano\, enhanced by archival audio and film\, to celebrate his transformative vision for American music. Gershwin’s fusion of jazz\, classical\, Yiddish and other folk styles gave us such vibrant national icons as “Rhapsody in Blue”\, “An American in Paris”\, and “Porgy and Bess”\, now emblems of America’s melting pot self-image\, its vigor and optimism.

SUMMARY:Roundtable by the 92nd Street Y: The Revolutionary George Gershwin\, Lecture 3 - “I never felt more alive...than when working on Porgy and Bess”
DESCRIPTION:https://www.roundtable.org/live-courses/music/the-revolutionary-george-gershwin-a-composer-beyond-boundaries\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\n\n\nDuBose Heyward’s novel “Porgy” inspired Gershwin to compose what he felt profoundly to be his finest achievement\, consuming him to near exhaustion right up to its opening in 1935. Since then “Porgy and Bess” has taken its place as a beloved and revered opera on the world’s great stages\, occupying a unique role in the history of American art. Performances evolve constantly\, weathering controversy and changing attitudes by virtue of Gershwin’s ravishing music and tender\, compassionate characterizations. Now in 2025\, “Porgy and Bess” remains a radiant expression of Gershwin’s towering creative vision\, honesty and integrity. \n\n\n\n\n\n——————————————————————————————————————————————— \nJoin acclaimed pianist Dr. Rachel Franklin as she demonstrates the genius of Gershwin live at the piano\, enhanced by archival audio and film\, to celebrate his transformative vision for American music. Gershwin’s fusion of jazz\, classical\, Yiddish and other folk styles gave us such vibrant national icons as “Rhapsody in Blue”\, “An American in Paris”\, and “Porgy and Bess”\, now emblems of America’s melting pot self-image\, its vigor and optimism.
