About the event
One hundred years ago George Gershwin gave the world one of the biggest musical gifts when he composed Rhapsody in Blue. Steinway Artist Charl du Plessis will perform a solo recital featuring this iconic work in Gershwin’s own version for solo piano. Other works featured on the programme include Caravan, Besame Mucho and jazz arrangements of Brahm’s Lullaby and the Sabre Dance by Khatchturian. Charl du Plessis was the first pianist ever to perform on Table Mountain, has won multiple awards for his recordings and continue to reinvent the crossover genre as his prefereed style of expression.
