A Gershwin Fantasy
A 90-minute Symphony pops show - also available for small jazz ensemble - based on the music of George Gershwin, and brilliantly re-imagined for the virtuosity of quadruple-threat Janice Martin.
This S'Wonderful show breaks all the rules in a kaleidoscopic mix of musical styles, characters, humor and illusion...and most 'S Wonderful of all... a dazzling display of consummate artistry on violin, piano, voice and dance.
Concept by Bob Goldstone and Janice Martin. Orchestrations and arrangements by Bob Goldstone, David Bixler and Janice Martin.
