Rhapsody at 100: The Experiment Continues

Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the premiere of George Gerswhin's masterpiece, Rhapsody In Blue, and other Symphonic Jazz Works

Join us on Saturday, February 10th at 7pm for what is sure to be one of the most exciting musical events on the North Shore this year. Matthew Arnold leads his big band, The New England Yankees, in a tribute to two giants of the Jazz Age, George Gerswhin and Paul Whiteman, a collaboration which created some of the most iconic and memorable music of the 1920s and 30s.

The New England Yankees, featuring virtuoso Matt Savage on the Piano, and augmented by strings, brass and percussion, will take you on a musical journey through the Jazz Age featuring works by Jerome Kern, Ferde Grofe, Gerswhin and more. Transport yourself back in time to when Paul Whiteman was the 'King of Jazz', George Gerswhin was at the top of the charts and a young singer named Bing Crosby was just getting his start in the Whiteman Orchestra as one of the Rhythm Boys.

Tickets can be purchased online at Event Brite for $20.00 plus fees, at the Rectory anytime or at the door for $20 (cash only)

The church is handicap accesible with a ramp in the rear of the building.

Parking is located across the street at the Parish Center or to the side of the church off Gerry St. by the Police Station.
