Rhapsody in Blue

Dive into the unforgettable brilliance of “Rhapsody in Blue,” a concert film that invites you to experience the soaring fusion of classical mastery and jazz pulse. The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, guided by Grammy‑nominated maestro Miho Hazama—chief conductor of the Danish Radio Big Band—and featuring dazzling piano virtuoso Makoto Ozone, delivers a program steeped in musical lore and fresh energy. Audiences are taken on an exhilarating journey that opens with Gershwin’s iconic “Rhapsody in Blue,” brilliantly amplified by Ozone’s expressive solo work, before moving into Hazama’s own evocative piece “Dawn in Retiro.” The set continues with a curated selection of Gershwin’s instrumental songs, culminating in the heartfelt, instrumental rendition of Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile,” a melody that beautifully echoes the emotive theme of Chaplin’s 1936 film Modern Times.
