Rhythm, melody, daises and green pastures … who could ask for anything more? A musical revue featuring songs of George and Ira Gershwin will be performed on April 23 as the final installment of the Molly Blank Concert Series at the Breman Museum of Jewish History and Culture in Atlanta, presented by the Flying Carpet Theatre Company. The cabaret-style concert performance features a variety of singers and storytellers sharing some of the iconic songs and history of the brothers who changed 20th-century music forever.
In this interview, Adam Koplan, director of “The Gershwins: Who Could Ask for Anything More” and director of performing arts at The Westminster Schools, spoke with “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes about the upcoming performance.
“The songs are totally recognizable, but you’ll hear harmonies that are surprising — you’ve heard it before, but this is a very fresh and fun take,” says Koplan.
