MORE INFO High Praise for Rhapsody in Red, White and Blue  “It has been a while since I have been this excited about a new piece. After listening to “Rhapsody In Red White & Blue”, I could not help but feel the excitement from the audience, and to have observed the spontaneous standing ovation…it was so moving. Composer Peter Boyer captured a beautiful energy & heart in his score, the kind that a young George Gershwin represented in his work as well. Pianist Jeffrey Biegel put his entire soul into the emotion of this piece, along with his brilliant & incredible skill as a grand pianist. What a joy he is! And what a pleasure it is to enjoy such a fresh new musical work. Bravo !!!!!! Beauty is alive and well – in every measure of this score.” – Julie Budd – American recording artist and actress, co-starred with Frank Sinatra, Liberace, and performed with orchestras worldwide including the Philadelphia Orchestra, Dallas, Balti- more, National Pittsburgh symphony orchestra, television and film. Latest recording: ‘Remembering… MR. SINATRA’ “Jeffrey Biegel has created a unique and unprecedented opportunity for orchestras across the US to add another Rhapsody to the world – a ‘Rhapsody in Red, White & Blue’ by Peter Boyer. I strongly urge con- ductors and orchestras in the few remaining states who have not yet joined this project to do so soon.” – Donald Sosin – Composer/arranger; major performer creating vocals and instrumentals for classic silent films. “The top of the line of film pianists!” – Leonard Maltin, film critic Watch A Rhapsody in Red, White & Blue Watch an excerpt from “A Rhapsody in Red, White & Blue” featuring Jeffrey Biegel on piano, supported by the Utah Symphony.
