CELEBRATE RHAPSODY IN BLUE CENTENNIAL WITH KYUNG-A LEE, NEIL BARLOW SEPT. 14 IN ORILLIA

ORILLIA Rhapsody in Blue: One more time.

That’s Kyung-A Lee and Neil Barlow “Take Two.”

The celebrated Huntsville musicians who played to a sold-out concert last month with their celebration of George Gershwin’s century old classic returns for an encore in Orillia at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Saturday Sept. 14 at 7:30.

Backed up by a small Orillia Silver Band ensemble and featuring Lee’s singing husband Parres Allen it’s a show that if you missed you’ll want to catch in a re-run.

Lee is at her absolute best ever with a couple of classical pieces — including her favourite composer Chopin — that feature her stunning piano talents along with some treats — including Barlow’s band playing the other half-handed part of the keyboard score.

And guest guitarist Patrick Ramirez, also of Huntsville.

Tickets are $25 — half the price of the Huntsville concert.
