The Anderson Brothers play Gershwin

($20-$30 tickets | 7:30pm & 9:30pm sets) The Century Room is happy to present Will & Peter Anderson!

“Virtuosos on clarinet & saxophone” (New York Times), Grammy-winning Juilliard graduates and identical twins Peter & Will Anderson will explore the music of George Gershwin with a fascinating narrative, and live performance with their five piece ensemble. One of the most striking geniuses of modern music, George Gershwin composed for Tin Pan Alley, Broadway, film, radio, and symphony orchestras, combining the sounds of jazz and European classical music. Selections will include “I Got Rhythm”, “It Ain’t Necessarily So”, “Summertime”, “They Can’t Take That Away From Me”, “Embraceable You”, and “S’Wonderful”. The Anderson brothers have been featured soloists on the Broadway stage, the Kennedy Center, Blue Note, Jazz at Lincoln Center, New Orleans Jazz Festival, live on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion Radio Program, and can be heard on the soundtrack of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. Vanity Fair magazine listed their album in “Four New Releases to Make You Love Jazz,” and the Washington Post said they “consistently bring a fresh perspective to classic jazz.” www.PeterAndWillAnderson.com
