Gershwin and the Golden Age

Experience the magic of Hollywood’s Golden Age in “Gershwin and the Golden Age,” a concert film that brings together the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Noreen Green, and the Grammy‑winning pianist Samuel Glicklich alongside legendary Gershwin interpreter Michael Feinstein. After sweeping triumphs on Broadway and the classical stage, George Gershwin relocated to Hollywood, where he joined a cadre of predominantly Jewish composers who shaped the emotional, symphonic sound of 1930s film scores. In collaboration with lyricist Ira Gershwin, he crafted unforgettable numbers for stars like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, cementing the Gershwins’ legacy in American cinema. Today, Michael Feinstein—an acclaimed historian and champion of the Great American Songbook Foundation—brings the brothers’ music to life. Together with the Los Angeles Jewish Symphony, he presents a soaring tribute that culminates in the rare live performance of Gershwin’s “Piano Concerto in F major.” Join us for this unforgettable celebration of a pivotal era in music and film history.
