Musician's or Publisher's Notes
Vinson composed the "Concerto in G for Violin and Orchestra" in June of 2007.  The compositions came about after a conversation he had with Natasha.  They were discussing an older CD of hers consisting of Gershwin selections which she recorded with piano.  She said "It's too bad that Gershwin never composed a violin concerto."  Vinson thought about it and replied "I'll compose it for you."  And he did,  The "Concerto in F" is a true composition, not an arrangement of Gershwin melodies.  (from the liner notes)
