Keyboard Conversations with Jeffrey Siegel: Gershwin and Friends

Jeffrey Siegel opens his of season Keyboard Conversations with the very best of American popular music. For more than 40 years, this outstanding pianist has dazzled audiences with his brilliant mastery of the piano along with his clever and insightful commentary on the great composers. Mr. Siegel performs the rarely heard solo piano version of Gershwin's most popular work, Rhapsody in Blue, as well as the humorous The Cat and the Mouse by Aaron Copland. The program also includes the intimate, lyrical Anniversaires by Leonard Bernstein, the Wall Street Rag by Scott Joplin, and the tender To a Wild Rose by Edward MacDowell. "A pianist with a bravura technique and a big, gorgeous sound…and when the artist himself offers the inside scoop, the musical experience becomes vastly more personal." (Denver Post)
