This new and unique program is centered around the most popular and important American composer, the famous composers he was influenced by, and many of the highly creative composer-pianists who surrounded him in his professional circles and with whom he worked intimately throughout his career. Gershwin &  His New York is not only a fascinating history lesson, but an intriguing glimpse of musical life in "Tin Pan Alley America" during the flavorful early decades of the twentieth century. Mayorga, as usual, laces the concert with anecdotes, informative commentary, and humor.
