The Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra presents Gershwin’s Magic Key on Sunday, October 25 at 4:00pm at the Michigan Theater.  As part of the Family Concert Series, this performance is sure to be a delight for the young and the young-at-heart. The musical story tells of a chance meeting on the streets of New York City between a poor newspaper boy and the great American composer, George Gershwin. The orchestra magically weaves Gershwin’s greatest hits into the drama as the master composer shares historical anecdotes about his life and musical passion. A bonding friendship develops as they explore the vast melting pot of American music and discover the key to unlocking the boy’s own musical potential. Family and student audiences will be captivated by over 20 of Gershwin’s most popular compositions from classical compositions including Porgy & Bess, American in Paris, Cuban Overture, Concerto in F and Rhapsody in Blue to popular hits from the American Songbook including IGot Rhythm, Swanee, The Man I Love, Someone to Watch Over Me, and Fascinating Rhythm
