Credit: Courtesy Photo \/ Agarita<\/p>\n<p>San Antonio\u2019s Agarita Chamber Players will continue their 2025\u20132026 season with a free concert  this Sunday featuring George Gershwin\u2019s iconic Rhapsody in Blue performed by piano, strings and clarinet. <\/p>\n<p>Gershwin is largely considered one of the few composers to attempt to integrate the popular music of his time \u2014\u00a0in this case jazz \u2014\u00a0into his classical compositions. <\/p>\n<p>This performance at the San Antonio Botanical Garden continues Agarita\u2019s penchant for finding new settings for chamber music and its mission of making classical music accessible to the general public. <\/p>\n<p>The performance also will feature Russian-born, Fort Worth-based clarinetist Stanislav Chernyshev.<\/p>\n<p>Free, 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 19, Betty Kelso Center, San Antonio Botanical Garden, 555 Funston Place, (310) 980-4971, agarita.org.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><a
