Love Is Here to Stay

There, the brilliant brothers Jacob and Israel Gershowitz – alias George and Ira Gershwin – sensationally transcended genre boundaries between jazz, blues, swing, popular culture and European art music, both in their music and in their lyrics, creating something radically new.

Hear the story of this dream team and key works from the Great American Songbook such as ‘Someone to Watch Over Me’ or ‘They Can’t Take That Away From Me’, jazz standards such as ‘The Man I Love’ or ‘I Got Rhythm’, songs from ‘Porgy and Bess’, as well as excerpts from ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ and ‘An American in Paris’.

• Featuring Julie Wolff (vocals), Max Doehlemann (piano), Jotham Bleiberg (trumpet) and Judith Kessler (narration).
