  3. Hartford Symphony Jazzes Up Gershwin

    It's been a good couple of years for the Gershwins. Composer George (who died in 1937 at the age of 38) and lyricist Ira (who outlived his brother by nearly half a century, dying age 86 in 1983) are currently represented by two very different Broadway musicals. The nuttily nostalgic <em>Nice Work If You Can Get</em> (which was initially developed at Connecticut's own Goodspeed Opera House in 2001) continues to play at the Imperial Theatre on Broadway (where it's slated to close June 15). The cutting-edge reimagining <em>The Gershwin's Porgy &amp; Bess</em> &mdash; a shortened and reimagined version of the groundbreaking folk opera &mdash; had to extend its New York run into last fall, and will soon start a national tour.

  4. HSO Masterworks Series: "Rhapsody in Blue" Playing at The Bushnell This Weekend

    The notorious Anderson and Roe Piano Duo (Elizabeth Joy Roe and Greg Anderson, pictured) join the Hartford Symphony Orchestra for a Gershwin-fest of sorts; Roe will tackle the Gersh's <em>Rhapsody in Blue</em>, while Anderson has his way with the &quot;I Got Rhythm" Variations for Piano and Orchestra. For a piano duo, these two are pretty forward-thinking. (Their entertaining YouTube take on Astor Piazzolla's <em>Libertango</em>, for example, has been viewed over a million times.) The Gershwin Bros. would be proud.

  12. The Hartford Symphony Orchestra Performs Symphonie Fantastique, Jan. 10-13 at the Bushnell

    France, Russia, the good ole U.S.A.: composers from all over the place struggled to write symphonies in Ludwig Van Beethoven's (1770-1827) formidable shadow. On Thursday, the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, led by Carolyn Kuan (pictured), kick off 2013 with the performance of one overwhelmingly successful approach: Hector Berlioz's <em>Symphonie Fantastique</em>, a programmatic five-movement work strung together by an <em>id&eacute;e fixe</em>, a musical idea that runs through the work, shape-shifting along the way. Also on the bill are Samuel Barber's virtuosic, jazzy <em>Concerto for Violin and Orchestra</em>, performed by the HSO and guest violinist Alexander Kerr, and Russian composer Sergei Rachmoninoff's <em>Vocalise</em>, an unusual, wordless ditty from his <em>Fourteen Songs</em> of 1912.
