Kurt Weill — Symphony No. 2
George Gershwin — Rhapsody in Blue (with the Marcus Roberts Trio)
The Philadelphia Orchestra and Marcus Roberts Trio present a 20th-century musical feast that’s perfect both for newcomers and afficionados, beginning with the magical storytelling of Stravinsky's Pétrouchka. A rare symphonic piece by Kurt Weill follows, sure to impress listeners familiar only with the composer’s theatrical works. Conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin calls it "a jewel [from] someone who completely mastered the symphonic world." Finally, hear Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue like you never have before, as the Marcus Roberts Trio—which has "reinvented" (Chicago Tribune) the masterpiece alongside multiple top orchestras—joins us in celebrating its 100th anniversary.
