Pianist Marcus Roberts will perform Gershwin's Concerto in F with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra this weekend at Symphony Hall. A world-premiere by Christopher Theofanidis is also on the program.
In addition to being in the middle of the goings-on at the Savannah Music Festival, where he serves as associate artistic director, Roberts has just released New Orleans Meets Harlem, Vol. 1. The CD, which hit the streets Tuesday, is a 12-track journey through ragtime (Scott Joplin), early jazz (Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller), swing (Duke Ellington) and bebop (Thelonious Monk) filtered through Roberts' bluesy sensibility.
Marcus Roberts and the ASO. Thursday-Saturday; 8 p.m. Price varies.
