Proms interval talks: An introduction to Gershwin
George Gershwin could be said to be one of the first "crossover" artists. As a composer he wrote in both classical and popular genres, with many of his larger works being some of the most popular amongst 20th century audiences. He was a prolific songwriter, setting clever and often witty lyrics provided by his brother Ira Gershwin.
Clemency Burton-Hill, theatre music expert Edward Seckerson and director, composer and orchestrator Jason Carr provide an introduction to Gershwin's Music. The Gershwin's Prom conductor John Wilson also joins the discussion.
