The Making of West Side Story

A Year of Bernstein — A 100th-Birthday Celebration

Join us as we celebrate Leonard Bernstein’s 100th Birthday with a yearlong, 12-lecture series exploring his extraordinary legacy as a composer of theater and concert music, a conductor and a teacher.

A once-in-a-lifetime collaboration: Bernstein, Sondheim, Robbins and Laurents created a once-in-a-lifetime work of musical theater, with a remarkable score that many have called the greatest in the history of the American musical. We’ll explore the making of the work via filmed interviews and rare footage shot on location during production of the film adaptation, and go deep inside selections of the score to understand how it achieves its rare combination of profound depth, sophistication and broad accessibility.
