Event Description


SOUL OF GERSHWIN

Called A wholly original, wholly delightful review with drop dead gorgeous tunes by the Los Angeles
Times, THE SOUL OF GERSHWIN, THE MUSICAL JOURNEY OF AN AMERICAN KLEZMER
features 23 all-time Gershwin classics cleverly bundled with musical surprises guaranteed to bring
theatergoers—young and old—to their feet.
George Gershwin, as narrator and storyteller, joins three master-class vocalists and a matchless
onstage band to take audiences on a compelling musical journey that transports them back to his world:
New York City in a burgeoning new century bustling with diverse cultural influences and seemingly
disparate musical genres: Yiddish theater and Jewish liturgical melodies; popular tunes; folk songs;
blues, jazz and opera.
THE SOUL OF GERSHWIN, THE MUSICAL JOURNEY OF AN AMERICAN KLEZMER is an aurally
illustrated examination of how a generation of Jewish-American composers was influenced
by the cross pollinating sounds of the day and is the ultimate expression of immigrant assimilation:
something greater than the sum of its parts.
