LineUp

"Rhapsody in Blue," composed by George Gershwin in 1924, is an iconic American musical composition. Originating in New York City, it masterfully blends classical music with jazz and blues, creating a distinctly American, modernist style. Known for its memorable melodies and the famous opening clarinet glissando, it established Gershwin as an eminent composer. Commissioned by Paul Whiteman and orchestrated by Ferde Grofé, this work is celebrated for defining the Jazz Age.
Founded in Austin, Texas, in 1911, the Austin Symphony Orchestra is the city's oldest performing arts organization. Known for its classical Masterworks and popular Pops series, the ASO delivers excellence in music and extensive educational programming. They engage the community through various concerts and youth initiatives, fostering a love for symphonic music.
