George Gershwin

    September 26, 1898 – July 11, 1937

    George Gershwin was an American composer whose works bridged the gap between classical music and popular song. Collaborating closely with his lyricist brother, Ira Gershwin, he crafted many enduring compositions for both Broadway and the concert hall. His music, celebrated for its innovative blend of jazz and classical elements, became the foundation for numerous jazz standards and continues to be widely recorded and performed by a diverse array of artists. Gershwin's distinctive style and his gift for creating melodies that resonate universally solidify his place as one of America's most significant musical figures.
