The Music of George Gershwin

At 15, he was plugging songs on Tin Pan Alley. By 17, he was writing for Broadway. Then at 21, he wrote a song called “Swanee”...and the rest is history. Today, George Gershwin is revered as one of the finest composers ever to write for the Broadway musical theatre. The songs he wrote for hit shows like LADY, BE GOOD!, FUNNY FACE, STRIKE UP THE BAND and GIRL CRAZY fill a large portion of what we now call Our Great American Songbook and are still heard in cabarets and concert halls around the world: “The Man I Love,” “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “Summertime,” “Embraceable You,” “I Got Rhythm,” “ ’S Wonderful,” and many more. Join us in celebrating America’s “One and Only” George Gershwin!
