The Georgia Symphony Orchestra (GSO) is set to commence its 74th season with a special event marking the centennial of George Gershwin’s "Rhapsody in Blue." This concert will feature pianist Robert Henry and is scheduled for October 12, 2024, at the Dr. Bobbie Bailey and Family Performance Center in Kennesaw, Georgia.

Under the direction of Music Director and Conductor Timothy Verville, the orchestra along with over 100 members of the GSO Chorus will perform a selection of songs from the 1920s. The program includes nostalgic original versions of popular pieces from this transformative era in music history. Audience members will experience a journey back in time to witness some of the earliest fusions between American popular and classical music. Attendees are encouraged to wear Roaring 20s attire as part of the celebration.

Tickets for this one-night-only event range from $15 to $45 and can be purchased through georgiasymphony.org/all-events.
