Cultural historian Bruce Hambro will return to the Morrill Memorial Library with another popular multimedia presentation, “The Genius of George Gershwin,” on Monday, February 4 at 7:00 p.m. George Gershwin produced countless scores for hit Broadway and Hollywood musicals during the early 1900s. With his brother, lyricist Ira Gershwin, he wrote numerous songs that have become embedded in the consciousness of generations of Americans. Mr. Hambro’s hour-long presentation includes recordings of Gershwin standards such as I Got Rhythm, Embraceable You, They Can’t Take That Away from Me, and Someone to Watch Over Me, sung by the likes of Ethel Merman, Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, and Ella Fitzgerald. In addition, audiences will be treated to video footage of selections from An American in Paris, Concerto in F, and Rhapsody in Blue.
