CONRAD TAO & FRIENDS RHAPSODY IN BLUE AT 100! at Renée & Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall

PROGRAM

• COUNTERPOINT(Selections)
• TAO:Concerto for Piano and Chamber Ensemble
• GERSHWIN:Rhapsody in Blue

With its opening clarinet glissando, bluesy piano riffs, and syncopated rhythms, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue quickly became an American masterpiece and audience favorite. Now, 100 years after its 1924 premiere, we celebrate the work’s vibrant flair with both original and reimagined versions!
