September 19, 2026
Alexander Sandor, Piano
Mackey Redline Tango
Gershwin Second Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra
Gershwin “I Got Rhythm” Variations
Ellington The River Suite
Gershwin An American in Paris
From Duke Ellington’s swirling jazz-ballet harmonies to propulsive tango-noir rhythms of the New York City subway, to George Gershwin’s dizzying Parisian fever dream, you’ll want to look both ways before you cross the street—and hold on tight, because tonight’s program doesn’t stop for red lights. Our very own principal pianist Alexander Sandor joins us in the hot seat for this all-American jazz joyride.
