From your seat INSIDE THE ORCHESTRA, step into the enchanting world of George Gershwin's musical genius with "Centenary in Blue," an immersive view of the multi-faceted composer. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the groundbreaking Rhapsody in Blue, this extraordinary event explores Gershwin’s diverse musical personas, from the Melodist Extraordinaire of "Someone to Watch Over Me," to the Operatic Visionary of the American folk opera "Porgy and Bess" to the Brilliant Symphonic Composer of “An American in Paris” lauded by Nadia Boulanger and Maurice Ravel, and finally the Jazz Fusionist behind the groundbreaking fusion of classical and jazz in Rhapsody in Blue, with the iconic clarinet glissando echoing Gershwin's trailblazing spirit.
Jazz Pianist Sensation Ted Rosenthal will share his unique and renowned take on Rhapsody in Blue, and Broadway Vocalist Sarah Ellis will dazzle us with Gershwin’s alluring songs.

Attendee Comments:
"Absolutely and positively one of the best experiences ever! This is a smart investment in the future growth of symphony audiences."
"We've become musical 'converts' solely due to your InsideOut concert experience and thoroughly anticipate the next one."
"I have been to many concerts at the world's great concert halls, but none were close to as memorable as the InsideOut concert I experienced on Sunday. I have never in my life engaged with music as holistically or dramatically—as ecstatically—as I did while sitting on stage among those musicians. Indeed, I have never been so fully enveloped like that in such magnificent sound. It was a thrill of a lifetime!"
