In this one-man show, pianist Elliot Sneider plays Ira Gershwin, who shared the highs and lows of George Gershwin’s life as his brother, his main lyricist, and the man always by his side.

Told through stories and music, including a performance of the iconic piece Rhapsody In Blue, “My Brother George” tells the story of George & Ira’s Gershwin’s lives through the changing landscape of America in the early twentieth century, and portrays their relationship from George’s first hit Swanee through his tragic death at the age of 38.

“I love the combination of great musical performance with interesting narrative background.

Rhapsody in Blue was fantastic.”
