The show, to be staged at the Azalea Hall on Saturday, March 23, will offer a concise and fascinating overview of the piano music of composer George Gershwin (1898-1937). His big hits include `Swanee’ which was made famous by Al Jolson, `Rhapsody in Blue’, `Summertime’ and `I Got Rhythm’. The folk-opera `Porgy and Bess’ (1935) is hailed by many as his most ambitious work. Sadly this musical genius died from a brain tumour at the tender age of 38 years.
Christopher Duigan, who is based in the KZN Midlands, is widely regarded as one of the country’s leading concert pianists.
