Daniel Weiser returns to Florida on his own this year to explore the tragically short, but incredibly productive life, of American’s greatest composer—George Gershwin. The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

AmiciMusic returns to Florida for more great chamber music programs in intimate settings. This year, Artistic Director and pianist Daniel Weiser is bringing the fabulous internationally renowned violinist Timothy Schwarz to perform with him. Schwarz and Weiser got their graduate degrees together at Peabody and were the 1996 U.S. Artistic Ambassadors of Music, which resulted in a two month tour of eleven countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia playing American music. Formerly known as the Upper Valley Duo, they always bring incredible passion, virtuosity, and excitement to all their programs. They will perform four different programs across the state from Pompano Beach to St. Petersburg to Naples. Scroll down to the bottom to see all the dates and venues and to buy tickets.
PROGRAM I: JAZZICAL –A thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, and Leonard Bernstein. This program features Bolling’s incredible Suite for Violin and Jazz Piano written for Pinchas Zukerman plus fantastic arrangements of songs from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and Bernstein’s West Side Story.
PROGRAM II: BROADWAY VIOLIN–Fantastic arrangements of your favorite Broadway songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, and more along with virtuosic renditions of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Bernstein’s West Side Story. You will not want to miss it!
PROGRAM III: JEWISH JAZZ–Another program exploring the fantastic connections between Jewish music and the beginnings of American Jazz featuring exciting Klezmer music plus Gershwin, Bernstein, and more.
PROGRAM IV: AN AMERICAN AFFAIR—An exploration of some wonderful American music by composers including Amy Beach, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, and more.

A recording of Gershwin’s “It Ain’t Necessarily So” from Porgy and Bess—on the BROADWAY VIOLIN program
Daniel Weiser returns to Florida on his own this year to explore the tragically short, but incredibly productive life, of American’s greatest composer—George Gershwin. The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

AmiciMusic returns to Florida for more great chamber music programs in intimate settings. This year, Artistic Director and pianist Daniel Weiser is bringing the fabulous internationally renowned violinist Timothy Schwarz to perform with him. Schwarz and Weiser got their graduate degrees together at Peabody and were the 1996 U.S. Artistic Ambassadors of Music, which resulted in a two month tour of eleven countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia playing American music. Formerly known as the Upper Valley Duo, they always bring incredible passion, virtuosity, and excitement to all their programs. They will perform four different programs across the state from Pompano Beach to St. Petersburg to Naples. Scroll down to the bottom to see all the dates and venues and to buy tickets.
PROGRAM I: JAZZICAL –A thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, and Leonard Bernstein. This program features Bolling’s incredible Suite for Violin and Jazz Piano written for Pinchas Zukerman plus fantastic arrangements of songs from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and Bernstein’s West Side Story.
PROGRAM II: BROADWAY VIOLIN–Fantastic arrangements of your favorite Broadway songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, and more along with virtuosic renditions of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Bernstein’s West Side Story. You will not want to miss it!
PROGRAM III: JEWISH JAZZ–Another program exploring the fantastic connections between Jewish music and the beginnings of American Jazz featuring exciting Klezmer music plus Gershwin, Bernstein, and more.
PROGRAM IV: AN AMERICAN AFFAIR—An exploration of some wonderful American music by composers including Amy Beach, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, and more.
Check out the video below of a movement from the Claude Bolling Suite from the JAZZICAL program
A recording of Gershwin’s “It Ain’t Necessarily So” from Porgy and Bess—on the BROADWAY VIOLIN program
Daniel Weiser returns to Florida on his own this year to explore the tragically short, but incredibly productive life, of American’s greatest composer—George Gershwin. The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

AmiciMusic returns to Florida for more great chamber music programs in intimate settings. This year, Artistic Director and pianist Daniel Weiser is bringing the fabulous internationally renowned violinist Timothy Schwarz to perform with him. Schwarz and Weiser got their graduate degrees together at Peabody and were the 1996 U.S. Artistic Ambassadors of Music, which resulted in a two month tour of eleven countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia playing American music. Formerly known as the Upper Valley Duo, they always bring incredible passion, virtuosity, and excitement to all their programs. They will perform four different programs across the state from Pompano Beach to St. Petersburg to Naples. Scroll down to the bottom to see all the dates and venues and to buy tickets.
PROGRAM I: JAZZICAL –A thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, and Leonard Bernstein. This program features Bolling’s incredible Suite for Violin and Jazz Piano written for Pinchas Zukerman plus fantastic arrangements of songs from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and Bernstein’s West Side Story.
PROGRAM II: BROADWAY VIOLIN–Fantastic arrangements of your favorite Broadway songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, and more along with virtuosic renditions of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Bernstein’s West Side Story. You will not want to miss it!
PROGRAM III: JEWISH JAZZ–Another program exploring the fantastic connections between Jewish music and the beginnings of American Jazz featuring exciting Klezmer music plus Gershwin, Bernstein, and more.
PROGRAM IV: AN AMERICAN AFFAIR—An exploration of some wonderful American music by composers including Amy Beach, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, and more.
Check out the video below of a movement from the Claude Bolling Suite from the JAZZICAL program
A recording of Gershwin’s “It Ain’t Necessarily So” from Porgy and Bess—on the BROADWAY VIOLIN program
Daniel Weiser returns to Florida on his own this year to explore the tragically short, but incredibly productive life, of American’s greatest composer—George Gershwin. The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

AmiciMusic returns to Florida for more great chamber music programs in intimate settings. This year, Artistic Director and pianist Daniel Weiser is bringing the fabulous internationally renowned violinist Timothy Schwarz to perform with him. Schwarz and Weiser got their graduate degrees together at Peabody and were the 1996 U.S. Artistic Ambassadors of Music, which resulted in a two month tour of eleven countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia playing American music. Formerly known as the Upper Valley Duo, they always bring incredible passion, virtuosity, and excitement to all their programs. They will perform four different programs across the state from Pompano Beach to St. Petersburg to Naples. Scroll down to the bottom to see all the dates and venues and to buy tickets.
PROGRAM I: JAZZICAL –A thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, and Leonard Bernstein. This program features Bolling’s incredible Suite for Violin and Jazz Piano written for Pinchas Zukerman plus fantastic arrangements of songs from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and Bernstein’s West Side Story.
PROGRAM II: BROADWAY VIOLIN–Fantastic arrangements of your favorite Broadway songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, and more along with virtuosic renditions of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Bernstein’s West Side Story. You will not want to miss it!
PROGRAM III: JEWISH JAZZ–Another program exploring the fantastic connections between Jewish music and the beginnings of American Jazz featuring exciting Klezmer music plus Gershwin, Bernstein, and more.
PROGRAM IV: AN AMERICAN AFFAIR—An exploration of some wonderful American music by composers including Amy Beach, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, and more.
Check out the video below of a movement from the Claude Bolling Suite from the JAZZICAL program
A recording of Gershwin’s “It Ain’t Necessarily So” from Porgy and Bess—on the BROADWAY VIOLIN program
Daniel Weiser returns to Florida on his own this year to explore the tragically short, but incredibly productive life, of American’s greatest composer—George Gershwin. The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

AmiciMusic returns to Florida for more great chamber music programs in intimate settings. This year, Artistic Director and pianist Daniel Weiser is bringing the fabulous internationally renowned violinist Timothy Schwarz to perform with him. Schwarz and Weiser got their graduate degrees together at Peabody and were the 1996 U.S. Artistic Ambassadors of Music, which resulted in a two month tour of eleven countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia playing American music. Formerly known as the Upper Valley Duo, they always bring incredible passion, virtuosity, and excitement to all their programs. They will perform four different programs across the state from Pompano Beach to St. Petersburg to Naples. Scroll down to the bottom to see all the dates and venues and to buy tickets.
PROGRAM I: JAZZICAL –A thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, and Leonard Bernstein. This program features Bolling’s incredible Suite for Violin and Jazz Piano written for Pinchas Zukerman plus fantastic arrangements of songs from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and Bernstein’s West Side Story.
PROGRAM II: BROADWAY VIOLIN–Fantastic arrangements of your favorite Broadway songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, and more along with virtuosic renditions of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Bernstein’s West Side Story. You will not want to miss it!
PROGRAM III: JEWISH JAZZ–Another program exploring the fantastic connections between Jewish music and the beginnings of American Jazz featuring exciting Klezmer music plus Gershwin, Bernstein, and more.
PROGRAM IV: AN AMERICAN AFFAIR—An exploration of some wonderful American music by composers including Amy Beach, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, and more.
Check out the video below of a movement from the Claude Bolling Suite from the JAZZICAL program
A recording of Gershwin’s “It Ain’t Necessarily So” from Porgy and Bess—on the BROADWAY VIOLIN program
Daniel Weiser returns to Florida on his own this year to explore the tragically short, but incredibly productive life, of American’s greatest composer—George Gershwin. The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

AmiciMusic returns to Florida for more great chamber music programs in intimate settings. This year, Artistic Director and pianist Daniel Weiser is bringing the fabulous internationally renowned violinist Timothy Schwarz to perform with him. Schwarz and Weiser got their graduate degrees together at Peabody and were the 1996 U.S. Artistic Ambassadors of Music, which resulted in a two month tour of eleven countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia playing American music. Formerly known as the Upper Valley Duo, they always bring incredible passion, virtuosity, and excitement to all their programs. They will perform four different programs across the state from Pompano Beach to St. Petersburg to Naples. Scroll down to the bottom to see all the dates and venues and to buy tickets.
PROGRAM I: JAZZICAL –A thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, and Leonard Bernstein. This program features Bolling’s incredible Suite for Violin and Jazz Piano written for Pinchas Zukerman plus fantastic arrangements of songs from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and Bernstein’s West Side Story.
PROGRAM II: BROADWAY VIOLIN–Fantastic arrangements of your favorite Broadway songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, and more along with virtuosic renditions of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Bernstein’s West Side Story. You will not want to miss it!
PROGRAM III: JEWISH JAZZ–Another program exploring the fantastic connections between Jewish music and the beginnings of American Jazz featuring exciting Klezmer music plus Gershwin, Bernstein, and more.
PROGRAM IV: AN AMERICAN AFFAIR—An exploration of some wonderful American music by composers including Amy Beach, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, and more.
Check out the video below of a movement from the Claude Bolling Suite from the JAZZICAL program
A recording of Gershwin’s “It Ain’t Necessarily So” from Porgy and Bess—on the BROADWAY VIOLIN program
Daniel Weiser returns to Florida on his own this year to explore the tragically short, but incredibly productive life, of American’s greatest composer—George Gershwin. The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

AmiciMusic returns to Florida for more great chamber music programs in intimate settings. This year, Artistic Director and pianist Daniel Weiser is bringing the fabulous internationally renowned violinist Timothy Schwarz to perform with him. Schwarz and Weiser got their graduate degrees together at Peabody and were the 1996 U.S. Artistic Ambassadors of Music, which resulted in a two month tour of eleven countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia playing American music. Formerly known as the Upper Valley Duo, they always bring incredible passion, virtuosity, and excitement to all their programs. They will perform four different programs across the state from Pompano Beach to St. Petersburg to Naples. Scroll down to the bottom to see all the dates and venues and to buy tickets.
PROGRAM I: JAZZICAL –A thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, and Leonard Bernstein. This program features Bolling’s incredible Suite for Violin and Jazz Piano written for Pinchas Zukerman plus fantastic arrangements of songs from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and Bernstein’s West Side Story.
PROGRAM II: BROADWAY VIOLIN–Fantastic arrangements of your favorite Broadway songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, and more along with virtuosic renditions of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Bernstein’s West Side Story. You will not want to miss it!
PROGRAM III: JEWISH JAZZ–Another program exploring the fantastic connections between Jewish music and the beginnings of American Jazz featuring exciting Klezmer music plus Gershwin, Bernstein, and more.
PROGRAM IV: AN AMERICAN AFFAIR—An exploration of some wonderful American music by composers including Amy Beach, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, and more.
Check out the video below of a movement from the Claude Bolling Suite from the JAZZICAL program
A recording of Gershwin’s “It Ain’t Necessarily So” from Porgy and Bess—on the BROADWAY VIOLIN program
Daniel Weiser returns to Florida on his own this year to explore the tragically short, but incredibly productive life, of American’s greatest composer—George Gershwin. The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!

AmiciMusic returns to Florida for more great chamber music programs in intimate settings. This year, Artistic Director and pianist Daniel Weiser is bringing the fabulous internationally renowned violinist Timothy Schwarz to perform with him. Schwarz and Weiser got their graduate degrees together at Peabody and were the 1996 U.S. Artistic Ambassadors of Music, which resulted in a two month tour of eleven countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia playing American music. Formerly known as the Upper Valley Duo, they always bring incredible passion, virtuosity, and excitement to all their programs. They will perform four different programs across the state from Pompano Beach to St. Petersburg to Naples. Scroll down to the bottom to see all the dates and venues and to buy tickets.
PROGRAM I: JAZZICAL –A thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, and Leonard Bernstein. This program features Bolling’s incredible Suite for Violin and Jazz Piano written for Pinchas Zukerman plus fantastic arrangements of songs from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and Bernstein’s West Side Story.
PROGRAM II: BROADWAY VIOLIN–Fantastic arrangements of your favorite Broadway songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, and more along with virtuosic renditions of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Bernstein’s West Side Story. You will not want to miss it!
PROGRAM III: JEWISH JAZZ–Another program exploring the fantastic connections between Jewish music and the beginnings of American Jazz featuring exciting Klezmer music plus Gershwin, Bernstein, and more.
PROGRAM IV: AN AMERICAN AFFAIR—An exploration of some wonderful American music by composers including Amy Beach, William Grant Still, George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, and more.
Check out the video below of a movement from the Claude Bolling Suite from the JAZZICAL program
A recording of Gershwin’s “It Ain’t Necessarily So” from Porgy and Bess—on the BROADWAY VIOLIN program
Daniel Weiser returns to Florida on his own this year to explore the tragically short, but incredibly productive life, of American’s greatest composer—George Gershwin. The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, Gershwin grew up in the rough, chaotic streets of New York and soaked up the melting pot around him to help formulate the new, brash sound of America. Combining elements of “Jewish” music with the “Blues” and “Ragtime” brought by recent black migrants from the South, Gershwin would help produce the new “Jazz” and “Broadway” sound that made New York City a new center for musical culture. Gershwin seamlessly moved between the “classical” and “popular” worlds to help reveal the continuum of these seemingly different idioms. Dr. Weiser will play much of Gershwin’s concert music, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and his “Preludes.” He will also perform arrangements of many of his iconic songs, including “The Man I Love,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Love is Here to Stay,” and many more.
AmiciMusic returns to Florida after a year’s hiatus due to the pandemic. Tim Schwarz, violin, and Daniel Weiser, piano/Artistic Director will perform some fantastic arrangements of great Broadway songs from the Golden Years (1920s-1940s). Tap your feet and hum along to music by Irving Berlin (“Cheek to Cheek,” “Blue Skies”); Jerome Kern (“All the Things You Are”, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”); Cole Porter (“Begin the Beguine,” “Just One of those Things”); and George Gershwin (“Love is Here to Stay,” “S’Wonderful”). Take a wonderful trip down memory lane to a time when the great songwriters ruled Broadway!
