Pianist Bill Mays and the Oregon Festival of American Music Orchestra will perform
George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue tonight. Mays tells Rifftides it will be the full-blown composition that debuted in 1924 with Gershwin as soloist, not the shortened version frequently performed by symphony orchestras.
