  Notes: "The Gershwin concert follows the 8/16 Cinema Under the Stars screening of Woody Allen’s film Manhattan, ... a visual and a musical view of New York City that features Gershwin music in the background.
  "The New York theme of the film series and the Gershwin concert anticipate the fall exhibition at Reynolda House, “Seeing the City: Sloan’s New York,” on view from 10/4/08 through 1/4/09. The music of composer George Gershwin (1898–1937) directly correlates with the art of his contemporary, John Sloan, the Ashcan School artist who arrived in New York City in 1904 and painted the street life, shop windows, parks, elevated trains, and the city dweller’s experience. Likewise, much of Gershwin’s music reflected the rapidly changing metropolis in which he grew up, composing his own tunes in Tin Pan Alley before moving into more rarified circles of the Broadway stage and formal concert halls as his music gained broad appeal."
