Biography in Music – The Music of George Gershwin
Saturday, December 6 | 3:00 p.m. | Sanctuary

George Gershwin made his considerable mark on American music in two short decades of composing. Such was the time he was allotted on this earth. His parents were Jewish immigrants who fled the hostilities of tsarist Russia and settled in Brooklyn. He grew up around the Yiddish Theater and Tin Pan Alley, and would become one of the defining voices of the American music theater – yet another demonstration of the quip that Tsar Alexander III did more to found the Broadway musical than Victor Herbert.
