ABC Wednesday: "G" is for George Gershwin

 
ABC Wednesday: Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin was one of four pieces we saw at the Bridgewater Hall on Saturday evening. It always sounds good but I don’t recall very hearing the whole price performed before- just that swirling jazzy famous section.

Other pieces in a musically diverse evening were an interesting avant garde piece by Mark Simpson (Sparks) and James MacMillan’s Viola Concerto. Ending with Stravinsky’s The Firebird. Not bad for a £10 last minute seat in the choir stalls.

    I would enjoy that concert!

    Looks like another spammer's been making the rounds. That's the second time today I've seen that comment.
