SUMMARY:The Music of Gershwin\, with Sarah Chidlow & David Roscoe
DESCRIPTION:Words and Music That Transcend Time \nGeorge and Ira Gershwin will always be remembered as the songwriting team whose voice was synonymous with the sounds and style of the Jazz Age. But from 1924 until George’s death in 1937\, the brothers wrote almost exclusively with each other\, composing over two dozen scores for Broadway and Hollywood. Together\, George and Ira Gershwin wrote the music for many shows and films. Some of their more famous works include “The Man I Love”\, “Fascinating Rhythm”\, “Someone to Watch Over Me”\, “I Got Rhythm”\, and “They Can’t Take That Away from Me”. In 1931\, the brothers collaborated on the score for the Broadway show\, “Of Thee I Sing\,” which became the first musical to be awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Their now-classic folk opera\, PORGY AND BESS (co-written with DuBose Heyward)\, is constantly revived in opera houses and theatres throughout the world. \nTo bring some special pieces of the Gershwin brothers music alive for this event we have local singer Sarah Chidlow. Sarah began singing at the age of 11 years old in a small local theatre group\, and has performed in many productions with the Birkenhead Operatic Society Trust (BOST).  Sarah will be joined by Past President David Roscoe who will present and tell the story or the words and music that have transcended time. \nBook your place now via the Members’ Area or through the Concierge. \n  \nMENU \nMain Course \nBoudin of Chicken\, Chorizo & Sun Blush Tomato Mousseline\, Risotto Milanaise\, Olive Oil \nRisotto Milanaise\, Roast Butternut\, Walnut Pesto\, Sauce Verte (V) \nDessert \nOrange Pannacotta\, Ginger Crumb\, Poached Rhubarb \n  \nEVENT SCHEDULE \n18:30 – Arrivals \n19:00 – 1st Performance \n20:00 – Supper \n21:30 – 2nd Performance \n22:15 – Fin \n22:45 – Last Orders \n
