GERSHWIN “I Got Rhythm” Variations

Carmen Suite No. 2

RAVEL Piano Concerto in G major

International superstar pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet brings his rock-star panache to Jacksonville, performing one of his signature piano concertos with roots in America’s greatest musical gift to the world: jazz. Inspired by the American style’s adoption in Europe, Maurice Ravel’s G major Concerto features jazzy opening and closing movements that bracket a resplendent middle movement where time seems to stand still. Thibaudet follows with Gershwin’s variations on perhaps his most famous tune, “I Got Rhythm.”

Concert begins at 7:30 PM. Performance is expected to last between 60 and 75 minutes and there will be no intermission. Masks must be worn at all times.
