Highlight of Sunday's concert will be the presentation of George Gershwin's '"Rhapsody in Blue" by Mr. Braggiotti and the or chestra. This famous work was conceived by the late Gershwin in 1924, almost as the result of an accident. Surprise A premature announcement by the New York Herald-Tribune in formed the public and .a very much surprised Gershwin that he had been commissioned to write a "jazz" composition of symphonic proportions lor a Paul Whiteman concert. The rhapsody was hastily composed and completed in three weeks by Gershwin. This composition proved to be the foundation for a new concept of American music entirely di vorced from the earlier European influence. Warsaw Concerto In addition to Gershwin's classic, Mr. Braggiotti will play the "Warsaw Concerto" by Rich ard Addinsell. This composition, which has won continual favor from the time it appeared, has on origin that is little known. It was composed originally as theme, or background, music for a British movie "Suicide Squadron." The Union-sponsored concert Will also include a group of orig inal musical caricatures by Mr. Braggiotti. The university or chestra, conducted by Emanuel Wishnow, will complete the pro gram with "An Outdoor Over ture" by Aaron Copeland and "Adagio for String Orchestra" by Samuel Barber.
