In short
Simone Sala is listed as piano soloist for the Las Colinas Symphony Orchestra's "A Gershwin Gala." A composer and arranger of this name is known for film and television work in the UK, but we could not confirm this listing is the same person, so this page treats him as unknown.
What to listen for
The program is devoted entirely to George Gershwin, drawing on both his theater and concert works: music from Girl Crazy, a Lullaby originally written for string quartet, the orchestral Promenade, An American in Paris with its taxi-horn effects and homesick blues melody, and the Piano Concerto in F, Gershwin's large-scale follow-up to Rhapsody in Blue. Across the evening, the throughline is Gershwin's signature blend of jazz-inflected harmony and syncopation with concert-hall form, with the Concerto in F giving the piano soloist the night's biggest, most symphonic showcase.
