Discover Rhapsody in Blue will be The Discovery Orchestra’s 7th public television production. From Bach to Saint-Saëns, our television programs have reached millions of viewers across the United States and around the world—significantly elevating the profile of The Discovery Orchestra and showcasing our signature approach to helping audiences listen more deeply to classical music.

This year, we turn to George Gershwin’s iconic Rhapsody in Blue, a dazzling fusion of classical tradition and jazz energy that captures the heartbeat of 1920s America. Its rhythmic brilliance, sweeping melodies, and unmistakable spirit continue to resonate with audiences. Join Maestro George Marriner Maull and The Discovery Orchestra as they uncover what makes this masterpiece so timeless—and why it continues to thrill us a century after its debut.

We are thrilled to feature special guest pianist Clayton Stephenson, an internationally-acclaimed virtuoso known for his joyful charisma, expressive depth, and fresh, poetic interpretations. His dynamic artistry brings a powerful new voice to Rhapsody, making this performance especially exciting.

We invite you to the stunning Alexander Kasser Theater at Montclair State University as we film this live Discovery Concert. Experience the electricity of a television production unfolding around you—the cameras, the lights, the behind-the-scenes choreography—and feel the excitement of being part of something created for millions to enjoy. Your presence will add energy and authenticity to the program!
