Stanford Lively Arts A Portrait of Leonard Bernstein

Jamie Bernstein, the eldest daughter of composer Leonard Bernstein, celebrates her father’s musical legacy in an evening of song and storytelling with pianist/conductor Michael Barrett and vocalists from the New York Festival of Song. Bernstein’s narration combines frank and funny anecdotes with plot synopses, musical insights, and a glimpse of the creative process behind some of Bernstein’s signature works, including West Side Story, Candide, On the Town, and Wonderful Town, the expansive Songfest cycle and one of the composer’s final works, Arias and Barcarolles. Barrett, a protege of Leonard Bernstein, accompanies vocalists culled from his critically acclaimed New York Festival of Song series in New York City.
