The November 21st Masterworks concert represents quite a contrast from the first two.  The focus is on lively, dance rhythms from Brazil, France, and Spain, combined with the influential and entertaining rhythms of American jazz used by Gershwin in his Rhapsody in Blue.  In addition to the Gershwin, Chu-Fang Huang, piano, will also perform the Ravel Piano Concerto.

"Throughout the performance ... you sensed the excitement of a young pianist who could hardly wait to get her turn at it. She played with richly mellow tone, vivid colorings and Romantic flair ... Ms. Huang gave a refreshingly direct, honest and sensitive account." - The New York Times
