But the music and lyrics have survived for almost 90 years and the work’s stature is unsurpassed in the American operatic repertoire. \nExplore this pivotal work from its beginnings to its revivals\, in a lively evening led by Gershwin scholar and pianist Robert Wyatt.

Certainly he was an enigma\, both as an individual and as a composer who was equally gifted as a pianist and conductor. Rachmaninoff speculated about “chasing three hares\,” wondering whether his inability to balance his three passions might diminish his reputation. Yet in 2022\, one year shy of the 150th anniversary of his birth\, his legacy is not only intact but his works remain symbolic of all that is alluring in Western classical music. \nThrough a presentation highlighted video presentations\, archival recording (Rachmaninoff cut more than 350 discs\, both acoustic and electronic) as well as recent recordings\, experience the genius of one of the greatest composers of symphonic\, choral and piano music.

His distinctive singing voice was also used as an improvisatory tool\, and we owe scat singing to his list of inventions. The pairing of his unique instrumental gift and a charismatic personality won him universal and eternal appeal as the “Satchmo\,” king of all jazz aficionados.
