What defines the jazz sound in the concert hall? Gershwin & All that Jazz explores this question through non-stop music in this next Music Unwound performance. Maestro Carl St.Clair will let the music do all the talking in three short sets — with music by Leonard Bernstein, Duke Ellington, and featuring George Gershwin’s Concerto in F with pianist Alain Lefevre.

Don't miss the "Jazz Unwound" Lounge during the show's two intermissions and the Late Nite Lounge after the show, featuring the Sellers Jazz Quartet.

Concert Preview Talk at 7PM.

The enchancements in this program are made possible by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, awarded to the Symphony in support of innovative and thematic programming.
