West Side Story: Leonard Bernstein's New York

Bernstein’s theater scores defines the energy and spirit of 1940’s-50’s New York City, and none better than his masterwork: the extraordinary score for West Side Story, the apotheosis of his collaboration with the equally brilliant Jerome Robbins, and the score that introduced the world to the lyrics of Stephen Sondheim.

This special Jazz in July Daytime lecture takes you deeply into both the making of this masterpiece and the score itself.
