Qatar Premiere of Gershwin's An American in Paris is an orchestral concert by the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra under conductor Marcus Bosch. The programme combines music by Igor Stravinsky and George Gershwin, with three works presented across two parts.
The concert opens with Stravinsky’s The Firebird Suite, a work associated with Russian folklore. After the interval, the programme moves to Gershwin with the Qatar premiere of An American in Paris.
The evening concludes with Catfish Row: Symphonic Suite from Porgy and Bess, bringing orchestral selections from Gershwin’s opera into the same concert programme.
