Rhapsody in Blue

Negro Folk Symphony

Approved

After a rapturous reception at its Carnegie Hall debut, William Dawson’s Negro Folk Symphony, quickly disappeared into obscurity. This American masterpiece is only now starting to receive the attention it merits.
Famed jazz pianist Marcus Roberts and his trio bring a modern interpretation to George Gershwin’s beloved Rhapsody in Blue.
Samuel Barber, famous as the composer of Adagio for Strings, takes all the main elements of a traditional four-movement symphony and condenses them into one movement in his innovative Symphony No.1.
