The Music Department at the University of North Carolina Asheville celebrates the 100th anniversary of the debut of George Gershwin’s American classic, “Rhapsody in Blue,” with a campus concert titled “Rhapsody 100 (The Experiment Continues)” at 3 p.m. on Sunday, February 4, in Lipinsky Auditorium.
The original 1924 “Experiment in Modern Music” concert, which debuted Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” was a uniquely American fusion of jazz and classical music. The centennial concert will bring together talented UNC Asheville faculty and esteemed musicians from the greater community in an “Ashevillean” spirit of musical experimentation. A highlight of the 2023-2024 UNCA Loves Piano concert series, this event features a full orchestra, a jazz combo and distinguished soloists and conductors. (with Hwa Jin Kim, Justin Ray, Emily Eng, Richard Shulman, Bill Bares & Russ Wilson)
