Thoroughly Modern—Santa Fe Community Orchestra in partnership with the Museum. Incredible but true: Gershwin’s beloved, iconic Rhapsody in Blue was cutting edge music when it was first presented in 1924. Explore the jazzy, syncopated music of American modernism in a fun, informative talk by Oliver Prezant with musical illustrations by the SFCO, featuring excerpts from music including Copland’s El Salón México, William Grant Still’s Poem for Orchestra, and Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, featuring pianist Ron Grinage.
