Seen by many as America’s classical music, jazz has had an immense influence on the works of American and European composers. Just as the featured composers on this program blurred the lines between jazz and classical, so do the artists performing on this afternoon’s concert. Jazz sensation Aaron Diehl and his trio will join classical musicians for works ranging from Ravel to Mary Lou Williams, culminating in a show-stopping performance of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.
Prelude Interview with Aaron Diehl and Inon Barnatan hosted by Robert John Hughes.
The livestream will take place at 5pm Pacific. Available on the Digital Concert Hall 72 hours after the performance.
