Today marks 100 years since the premiere of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and with its smooth and jazzy opening performed here by RSNO Principal Clarinet Tim Orpen, it’s no wonder it’s still so popular today!

An amazing night here @Musikverein, we couldn’t have hoped for a better start to our tour! We were lucky to meet with His Majesty’s Ambassador to Austria Lindsay Skoll @ukinaustria, and to be joined by members of the RSNO Circle who travelled from Scotland to join us.

In our first @KingsPlace concert of 2023, clarinettist @TimothyOrpen plays the virtuosic tour-de-force that is @HellTweet's Gnarly Buttons, plus a sequence from Gershwin's An American in Paris, and music by Debussy and George Benjamin. See you there! bit.ly/3YsUYOO
