Vocalist/pianist Diane Schuur is as eclectic as she is brilliant. A longtime disciple of Dinah Washington and other legendary jazz singers of the '40s and '50s, Schuur has built a stellar career by embracing not only the jazz of her parents' generation, but also the pop music of her own youth during the late '50s and '60s. In a recording career that spans nearly three decades--and includes two Grammys and three Grammy nominations--Schuur's music has explored nearly every corner of the American musical landscape.

A Gershwin Celebration
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm - Plaza del Sol Performance Hall (PH)

From Tin Pan Alley to Broadway to the silver screen, George Gershwin did it all. His unique blend of jazz, blues and classical music made him one of the most innovative composers of all time. This show includes Gerswin's classic songs, dialogue rich with anecdotal insights into his life, and a thrilling rendition of "Rhapsody in Blue". From the foot-tapping "I Got Rhythm" to the poignancy of "Someone To Watch Over Me," no other composer has so perfectly captured the true spirit of America. Join Broadway stars Raymond Saar, Diane Ketchie, Valerie Perri and Scott Harlan for this magical night!
