Dear Lenny: Bernstein’s Life in Songs & Letters
December 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Dan Chouinard, Prudence Johnson & Bradley Greenwald with soprano Liz Hawkinson, Bruce Thornton on clarinet and Greg Hippen on bass present
Dear Lenny: Bernstein’s Life in Songs & Letters is a tribute to Leonard Bernstein’s commitment to music, love and the artist as progressive social activist. The composer of West Side Story – songs include “Something’s Coming”, “Tonight”, “A Boy Like That”, “Some Other Time” and many more. Bernstein’s masterpieces from Broadway (On the Town, Candide, West Side Story), to the silver screen (On the Waterfront)–together with his fascinating and candid correspondence with Aaron Copland, Steven Sondheim, Jerome Robbins, Bette Davis, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and more–will be presented in a theatrical concert that, as Bernstein would put it, “appeals to both the intellect and the heart.”
