After achieving massive success on Broadway and in classical music, George Gershwin moved to Hollywood, joining the predominantly Jewish composers behind Hollywood film scores of the 1930s. Composing original songs and scores for films starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Gershwin and his contemporaries established the emotional, symphonic style of American film scoring. Through his work with lyricist Ira Gershwin, musician and educator Michael Feinstein became a preeminent historian and champion of the Gershwin legacy through The Great American Songbook Foundation. A renowned interpreter of the talented brothers’ music, Feinstein is joined by the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony for a Soraya original celebration of the Gershwin’s memorable contributions to the Golden Age of Hollywood — with a finale that features a rare performance of George Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F major.
This program is made possible through the generous support of Carol Shubin, Noah and Connie Marco.
