Celebrating Bernstein

A celebration of Leonard Bernstein: songs, dances and a trip to the movies.
Experience pure rhythmic bliss in this concert celebrating one of the twentieth century’s most versatile musicians. Carlos Miguel Prieto leads the orchestra in some of Bernstein’s most thrilling music: from rumbles and dances in West Side Story, to hijinks On The Town, to songs from Candide, to the pulsating drive of On the Waterfront. An absolute treat from beginning to end.
This concert is generously supported by Chris and Jane Loughran.
