Chicago Philharmonic Returns To North Shore With An Ode To A Golden Era

This March, Chicago Philharmonic travels back in time to perform music from and inspired by the 1920s with sensational guest soloist Aldo Lo?pez- Gavila?n in The Roaring Twenties. Headlining the program is George Gershwin's American smash, Rhapsody in Blue, complete with bustling piano solos and the iconic opening clarinet glissando. Gershwin often called this boisterous piece a tribute to the American spirit, calling it "a sort of musical kaleidoscope of America, of our vast melting pot, of our unduplicated national pep, of our metropolitan madness."
