Hershey Felder as George GershwinGershwin revisited
Pianist-singer-actor Hershey Felder returns with another of his popular performances streamed live from Teatro della Pergola in Florence, Italy. In “George Gershwin Alone,” Felder tells the story of the great American composer and plays the composer’s best-known songs from “An American in Paris” and “Porgy and Bess” to his groundbreaking “Rhapsody in Blue.” To create the role, Felder had unprecedented access to Gershwin’s personal and professional papers and recordings. The performance benefits theater and arts organizations across the U.S. and Europe including Porchlight Music Theatre, which gets 50% of ticket sales sold through its website. Streams at 7 p.m. Sept. 13; tickets are $55. Visit porchlightmusictheatre.org or hersheyfelder.net.
