San Antonio’s Agarita Chamber Players will continue their 2025–2026 season with a free concert this Sunday featuring George Gershwin’s iconic Rhapsody in Blue performed by piano, strings and clarinet.
Gershwin is largely considered one of the few composers to attempt to integrate the popular music of his time — in this case jazz — into his classical compositions.
This performance at the San Antonio Botanical Garden continues Agarita’s penchant for finding new settings for chamber music and its mission of making classical music accessible to the general public.
The performance also will feature Russian-born, Fort Worth-based clarinetist Stanislav Chernyshev.
Free, 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19, Betty Kelso Center, San Antonio Botanical Garden, 555 Funston Place, (310) 980-4971, agarita.org.
