Jeffrey Biegel performs Peter Boyer's "Rhapsody in Red, White & Blue" with LSO 

Peter Boyer, GRAMMY-nominated and one of America’s most prominent composers (his music was performed at President Biden’s inauguration), was commissioned by pianist Jeffrey Biegel to compose a work celebrating the 2024 centennial of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Boyer has responded with a work cast, like Gershwin’s, in a single, multi-sectional movement that similarly captures propulsive energy, along with allusions to blues influences and lyrical evocations of American vistas. This brilliantly communicative work was premiered, to great acclaim, in June 2023, and Biegel will be performing it in each of the 50 United States through 2026.
Release date: February 2024
