From the hot jazz of George Gershwin interpreted by the Marcus Roberts Trio, to a world premiere by Fresno's own Jack Fortner, Maestro Kuchar's season opening program invites everyone to celebrate the musical richness and diversity of American music.
Since bursting upon the jazz scene as the pianist for the Wynton Marsalis Septet, Marcus Roberts has become one of the leading jazz artists of our time. Hear for yourself why critics call his Trio's performances with orchestra of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue "unforgettable," "spectacular," and "dazzling."
