“George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” will meet rapturous bluegrass when banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck leads off ProMusica Chamber Orchestra’s 2025-26 season at the Southern Theatre.
“I wanted to open with a big bang. It’s a great thing to have Béla Fleck playing. It’s huge,” music director David Danzmayr said.
“It’s a very joyous way to open the season, with a very different version of ‘Rhapsody in Blue.’”
Fleck, who’s won 18 Grammys, will perform Oct. 18-19. The concerts also will mark the world premiere of “FLOW: Variations over Time,” a commissioned work by award-winning composer Paul Rissmann.”
