Soloist: Jason Kutz, piano

Join us as the Philharmonic gives its first performance in a decade of one of the most beloved of American masterpieces, George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody In Blue” -- all surrounded by much of the great American popular music that Gershwin himself would have recognized. Jason Kutz, the young piano genius behind Madison’s hottest Jazz ensemble, Mr. Chair, joins us as soloist for what promises
to be an unforgettable event.
