About Pianist Jeffrey Biegel and the Rhapsody Initiative:
A passionate initiative a half-decade in the making has been completed by the acclaimed pianist Jeffrey Biegel and composer and conductor Peter Boyer as they salute George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” on its centennial (February 1924-2024) with a special piece titled, “Rhapsody in Red, White & Blue,” composed by Boyer.
Considered the most prolific artist of his generation, Moravian College in Bethlehem, PA, conferred the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Humane Letters upon Mr. Biegel in 2015, for his achievements in performance, recordings, chamber music, champion of new music, composer, arranger and educator. In 2019, Kenneth Fuchs's "Piano Concerto: 'Spiritualist'" with the London Symphony Orchestra led by JoAnn Falletta received a Grammy Award for Best Classical Compendium, featuring Mr. Biegel as its soloist. In 2019, the first digital recordings were released on Mr. Biegel's Naturally Sharp label:"Cyberecital: An Historic Recording", "A Pianist's Journey", and the September 2021 release of George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" 1924 version with the AdrianSymphony Orchestra, Bruce Kiesling conducting.
