performer he is in demand as an interpreter of the music of George Gershwin, playing his songs and classical compositions around the world, including Italy,
Egypt, Australia, and Russia, where he performed Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and gave the Russian premiere of Gershwin’s Second Rhapsody with the St.
Petersburg Philharmonic to a standing ovation.

Dr. Grossman graduated Harvard College with a Magna cum Laude in Music. He continued his studies at Yale University, earning a Ph.D. in Music.
