About the artist

George Gershwin

Ah, George Gershwin - what can we say about this legendary musician that hasn't already been said? The man was a true pioneer in the world of American music, blending classical and jazz influences with a flair that was uniquely his own. Born in Brooklyn in 1898, Gershwin showed early promise as a musician, studying piano and composition from a young age. By his teens, he was already making a name for himself in New York's bustling music scene, playing piano in Tin Pan Alley and writing songs for Broadway shows. But it was in the 1920s and 30s that Gershwin truly came into his own, composing a string of hit songs and groundbreaking works that would cement his status as one of the greatest American composers of all time. From the iconic 'Rhapsody in Blue' to the timeless opera 'Porgy and Bess', Gershwin's music continues to captivate audiences to this day. With his boundless energy and infectious charm, Gershwin was a true showman, always willing to push the boundaries of what was possible in music. Whether he was collaborating with his brother Ira on a new Broadway musical or experimenting with new harmonic structures in his compositions, Gershwin never shied away from taking risks. So, next time you find yourself humming along to 'I Got Rhythm' or getting lost in the lush harmonies of 'An American in Paris', take a moment to appreciate the genius of George Gershwin. His music may be nearly a century old, but its impact is as timeless as ever.
