Vancouver Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra plays Gershwin's Jazz-Age gems

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      We can’t think of a concert quite so fitting for a spring day: the Vancouver Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra ends its season by transporting audiences to Roaring-’20s New York with the concert Gorgeous Gershwin on Sunday afternoon (May 15) at the Orpheum. Among the highlights, musical director Leslie Dala takes on the dual role of conductor and solo pianist, leading the young orchestra through hits from works like An American in Paris and Porgy & Bess Suite, and then hitting the keyboards for a rendition of the Jazz Age-y Rhapsody in Blue. Expect to be humming your whole way home.
