Rhapsody in Blue with the ASO

Experience the unforgettable sound of George Gershwin, from the jazz-infused melodies of *Porgy and Bess* to the iconic *Rhapsody in Blue*. Blending classical music with the energy and spirit of American jazz, Gershwin’s music has inspired generations of artists, including Miles Davis, Janis Joplin, and Sublime.

Leading the Orchestra is **Estonian conductor Kristiina Poska**, making her debut with the ensemble. She is joined by **jazz pianist Sullivan Fortner**, an acclaimed performer known for his dynamic, soulful playing and deep roots in modern jazz.

After intermission, the orchestra turns to the powerful sounds of Danish composer Carl Nielsen and his dramatic Fourth Symphony, *The Inextinguishable*—a thrilling finale that showcases the full force and energy of the orchestra.
