“Experience an unforgettable concert where classical brilliance meets the spirit of jazz, featuring George Gershwin’s iconic Rhapsody in Blue in a rare and intimate arrangement for piano and string quintet. After intermission, we are thrilled to welcome back acclaimed saxophonist Eddie Barbash of the Late Show Band as he joins pianist and arranger Kyle Athayde for a vibrant set of jazz standards and original arrangements for jazz quartet and string quartet, bringing the spontaneity and energy of a late-night jazz club to the concert stage.”
