RHAPSODY in BLUE headlines our celebration of 250 years of independence alongside masterpieces by America’s greatest composers. Feel the energy of Bernstein’s West Side Story Dances, ride the wild rhythms of Copland’s Buckaroo Holiday, and experience history in the making with the Michigan Premiere of Rhapsody in Red, White, and Blue—a brand-new work composed especially for our guest pianist, Jeffrey Biegel, as the perfect companion to Gershwin’s classic.
