George Gershwin Fascinating Rhythm

75th Anniversary Concert

International Concert Pianist Phillip Dyson has been described as simply “brilliant”, with a “wonderfully dry, very British sense of humour” and a recent recital in New York City accredited him as nothing less than “magnificent”. A world class pianist and great entertainer, performing to ‘sell-out’ audiences around the world.

He broadcasts regularly for the BBCand Classic FM, performs with the most prestigious orchestras and has a great international reputation in Europe and America, gaining enormous popularity in both the classical and light music repertoires.

Tonight, the charismatic Phillip Dyson blends the Concert Hall with Tin Pan Alley, Broadway and Hollywood in a sensational show entitled Fascinating Rhythm celebrating the 75th Anniversary of George Gershwin. An evening of irresistible charm and sophistication, recreating the nostalgia and dazzling toe-tapping stylish jazz of the 1920’s and 1930’s. George Gershwin at his very best with

Rhapsody in Blue and I Got Rhythm, plus Jerome Kern’s Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, Irving Berlin’s Cheek to Cheek, Cole Porter’s Anything Goes, Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer, Fats Waller’s Honeysuckle Rose… and much more! A unique and very special George Gershwin celebration, all accompanied by his usual light hearted narrative.

This programme featured recently in a week of Concerts by Phillip Dyson in New York City, including a ‘sell-out’ performance at the Lincoln Centre. He has just returned from a week of Concerts at the Scott Joplin International Ragtime Festival, in Kansas City, USA.

Tickets: £15.00 plus 5%  fee per booking
