George Gershwin, de Brodway à Porgy and Bess

With his brother Ira, he composed songs that became essential jazz standards. But his work extends far beyond Broadway. Rhapsody in Blue, the Concerto in F, An American in Paris, and Porgy and Bess testify to his ambition to bring together popular music, jazz, and the classical repertoire.

Lionel Eskenazi will explore these three facets of his work, while evoking the rich cultural life of the United States in the 1920s and 1930s as well as Gershwin's commitment against racism, particularly present in Porgy and Bess.
