One of the March concert program pieces is "An American in Paris" (Arranged by John Krance). I have included some program notes here to help you. Click the link in the comments for tickets to one of two venues on March 15 and March 22.
George Gershwin's An American in Paris captures the vibrancy and excitement of the city through a fusion of jazz, blues, and classical styles. Initially composed for orchestra in 1928, the piece evokes the sights and sounds of Paris, from bustling streets to serene moments by the Seine. In this symphonic band arrangement by John Krance, Gershwin's signature melodies and rhythmic drive shine, offering a lively portrayal of an American's impression of Paris in the Jazz Age. The work blends sophistication with playful energy, making it a timeless celebration of cultural exchange.
