Ring in the New Year with a dazzling musical experience! Makoto Ozone and the WDR Funkhausorchester perform George Gershwin's masterpieces, from 'Rhapsody in Blue' to Broadway hits, creating a sonic cosmos on stage.
100 years ago, George Gershwin premiered his "Rhapsody in Blue" in New York to a delighted audience, including Stravinsky, Kreisler, and Rachmaninoff. Considered the quintessential American concert piece—joyful, jazzy, sentimental—the WDR Funkhausorchester celebrates its anniversary with a program featuring highlights from Gershwin's Broadway hits, the Rhapsody itself, and other works.
