Resonate Festival Day 2: Celebrating American Music

Our Concertmaster Rimma shines in works by Americans of different eras: Gershwin and young superstar-composer Jessie Montgomery’s virtuosic Rhapsody. Kurt Weill embraced his adopted country, creating legendary Broadway musicals and unforgettable songs that are now part of the beloved American Songbook. You’ll be treated to some iconic favorites, irresistibly performed by Grammy Award-winner Gabriel Preisser (“impossibly charming … Whenever he’s on stage, the energy sizzles.” ~ Tampa Bay Times).
