  • Summary

  • Over the weekend, WNYC presented a live event at St. Anne's Warehouse underneath the Brooklyn Bridge, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of George Gershwin's iconic piece 'Rhapsody In Blue,' with a new arrangement from Edmar Colón that spotlights the piece's sense of place and the idea of a political crossroads. The event was curated by pianist Lara Downes, hosted by WQXR's Terrance McKnight, and featured musicians Christian McBride, Rosanne Cash, Arturo O’Farrill, Time for Three, and the Orchestra Elena. WNYC producer Simon Close recapped the event, and shared some musical excerpts of the evening.
