Win tickets for song and dance spectacular
Crazy for Gershwin is a performance of music, song and dance celebrating the much-admired works of George Gershwin, often regarded as the greatest of the popular music composers and recognised for bringing the jazz style to the piano concerto. The show will contain classic
orchestral compositions alongside a selection of show-stopping numbers written in collaboration with his lyricist brother, Ira. One of the most talented of the first generation of musical theatre composers, George Gershwin successfully bridged the gap between concert hall and Broadway. This performance from the treasured Gershwin songbook will include: ‘Rhapsody in Blue’, ‘Shall We Dance’, ‘Lady Be Good’, ‘But Not For Me’, ‘S’Wonderful’, ‘I Got Rhythm’, ‘Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off’, ‘They Can’t Take That Away From Me’, ‘Swanee’, ‘The Man I Love’, ‘Strike Up the Band’, ‘A Foggy Day In London Town’, ‘Summertime’ and ‘It Ain’t Necessarily So’, from the opera Porgy and Bess. Expect Broadway glamour and toe-tapping tunes in an all-Gershwin extravaganza. Crazy for Gershwin comes to Birmingham Symphony Hall on Friday 4 May with London Concert Orchestra and featuring Viv McLean – piano; Katie Birtill – soprano; Rodney Earl Clarke – baritone; Richard Balcombe – conductor, a glamorous ballroom duo and two sensational tap dancers.
