Get ready to jazz up your night because the Georgia Symphony Orchestra is dialing the clock back to the Roaring Twenties. In celebration of a century passing since the iconic debut of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, this storied ensemble is set to jump-start their 74th season. The noteworthy event promises a blend of the era's defining tunes, spotlighting pianist Robert Henry's chops on the keys.
The prestigious GSO Music Director and Conductor, Timothy Verville, will take the helm, uniting both the orchestra and the voices of the GSO Chorus. This rare concert, set for Saturday, aims to seamlessly blend nostalgia with a one-hour musical journey tracing back to the 1920s avant-garde. And here's a twist: attendees are encouraged to dress in flapper dresses and zoot suits, adding an authentic Jazz Age flair to the event.
The tickets are priced to sell, ranging from a reasonable $15 to $45. Those jazz hands better hurry, though; this is a one-off soirée that history buffs and music aficionados alike won't want to miss. Surprisingly, such a steal for a ticket to the past is just a click away at the Georgia Symphony Orchestra's official website—where securing your seat is as easy as tapping your foot to a Gershwin tune.
An event of this caliber doesn't just roll around every Saturday night. According to an announcement on Marietta's official government website, the evening will feature "a medley of songs from the 1920s, nostalgic original versions of popular pieces," and much more. So dress to impress, and get ready to time-travel in style; it's going to be the bees' knees, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
