      Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin

      George Gershwin (1898-1937)

      Gershwin was a true American original who broke musical boundaries, writing everything from Broadway musicals and popular songs to symphonic works and jazz. In just 38 years, he fearlessly explored new ideas and created a wide range of music. Bill shares how Gershwin’s life and work 'flashed across the world like a comet,' and gives fresh insights into the people and experiences that shaped him. We invite you to join us as we celebrate George Gershwin’s life and soulful music.
