Post-concert PlayBack: Kirill Gerstein performs Gershwin solo tunes

The composer’s iconic Rhapsody in Blue with pianist Kirill Gerstein is the centerpiece of a program featuring Gershwin’s Greatest Hits, sung by veteran Broadway stars Harolyn Blackwell, Marin Mazzie, Jason Danieley and Norm Lewis. It’s one musical gem after another from shows like Strike Up The Band and Porgy and Bess, including Swanee, I Got Rhythm, How Long Has This Been Going On, Embraceable You, S’ Wonderful and the much loved Summertime.
