Michelle Cann Warms up with Rhapsody in Blue

Jetting between concerts, teaching engagements, and tireless music advocacy, Michelle Cann keeps her eye on the ball with an old friend: the piano.

Michelle Cann brought audiences to their feet during her Grant Park Music Festival debut in 2022. Here she is in a "pre-concert warm-up" ahead of a streamed performance of George Gershwin's irresistible American classic Rhapsody in Blue. She returns to Chicago to perform the Rhapsody with Christopher Bell and the Grant Park Orchestra on July 5.
