George and Ira Gershwin were responsible for more than 1,000 of the most popular and beloved songs, shows and movies in show business history, and their artistic legacy continues to be a major influence today. This new symphonic show celebrates their lives, but it’s more than just great music—it’s also a multimedia event with family photos, rare audio and video footage, artwork, privately held manuscripts and new musical arrangements.

Performances include:
“Rhapsody in Blue, ” “The Man I Love,” 
“I Got Rhythm,” “Strike up the Band,” “Summertime, ” “‘S Wonderful” 
and many more!

A widely admired American pianist, Cole is regarded as the foremost interpreter of George Gershwin compositions. The Chicago Tribune says: “When Cole sits down at the piano, you would swear Gershwin himself was at work… Cole stands as the best Gershwin pianist in America today.”

“Our audiences always love the music of George Gershwin and the lyrics of his brother, Ira,” says Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman. “They are, in so many ways, ‘American Music’ personified. And no orchestra brings the music of Gershwin to life better than Pacific Symphony.”
