Two Pianos: Who could ask for anything more?

Two of today’s most celebrated artists, Michael Feinstein and Jean-Yves Thibaudet, join forces for the first time in Two Pianos: Who Could Ask for Anything More?, an innovative programme celebrating the music of George Gershwin and his world.

Two Pianos: Who Could Ask for Anything More? showcases music spanning the 20th-century world of classical music and of the 20th and 21st centuries of the Great American Songbook, presented with commentary and anecdotes that provide a historical and social context of the works. A centrepiece of the programme will feature lost and unknown Gershwin works, some originally conceived for two pianos, alongside his more beloved works including Rhapsody in Blue. Other works will include those penned by Alec Wilder, Cole Porter, Leonard Bernstein, and Richard Rodgers, along with forays into jazz, ragtime, and stride.
