Discover Gershwin featuring Rhapsody in Blue - 4/12/2007
"The concert was exceptional - from George's insightful deconstruction and reconstruction of Gershwin's famous Rhapsody in Blue to Mr. Rosenthal's virtuosic performance. Everything worked together in perfect harmony." Morristown, NJ
"I have loved "Rhapsody in Blue" and felt "at home" with it for many of my 83 years, but on April 12, 2007, that "home" suddenly expanded with multiple extensions thanks to the extraordinary musical, artistic and teaching talents of George Marriner Maull! I've long been aware of the high quality of your musical and artistic talents but now I must add my admiration for your exhilarating teaching talent! …I can't wait to attend as many of your concerts as possible. Thank you again for a wonderful evening." Summit, NJ
