Led by Teddy Abrams and the Louisville Orchestra, this concert reimagines George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue through Latin jazz and Cuban influences. Pianist Ahmed Alom reshapes the work with improvisation, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and expanded percussion, creating a fresh, rhythm-driven interpretation. The performance reveals a familiar classic transformed in real time through spontaneity, collaboration, and cultural fusion.
