RENESAN: Gershwin in Hollywood

A Renesan in the Railyard presentation in conjunction with the Jean Cocteau Cinema. George Gershwin wrote five film scores — the seldom-screened Delicious and Girl Crazy from 1931-32, and the well-known ‘Shall We Dance?,’ ‘A Damsel in Distress,’ and ‘The Goldwyn Follies,’ from 1937, the last year of his life. This multimedia presentation about Gershwin’s Hollywood experiences features interviews with his friends, photographs, anecdotes, and video excerpts from all five films. Steven Ovitsky recently retired after 20 seasons as executive director of the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival. As artistic and executive director of Chicago’s Grant Park Music Festival he revived original versions of classic musicals including ‘Of Thee I Sing,’ ‘Anything Goes,’ and ‘Sunny.’
