George Gershwin, nato Jacob Gershowitz (Brooklyn, 26 settembre 1898 – Los Angeles, 11 luglio 1937), è stato un compositore, pianista e direttore d'orchestra statunitense. Considerato l'iniziatore del musical statunitense, la sua opera spazia dalla musica colta al jazz. Le composizioni di Gershwin hanno attraversato i generi blues e musica classica, e le sue melodie più popolari sono ampiamente conosciute. Tra le sue opere più note ci sono le composizioni orchestrali Rapsodia in blu (1924) e Un americano a Parigi (1928), così come l'opera Porgy and Bess (1935). Ha scritto la maggior parte delle sue opere vocali e teatrali, tra cui più di una dozzina di spettacoli teatrali della Broadway, in collaborazione con suo fratello maggiore, il paroliere Ira Gershwin. George Gershwin compose musica sia per Broadway, sia per le sale da concerto europee, così come per il grande pubblico che ha portato la sua opera ad un pubblico ancora più ampio.
