Composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein (1918 – 1990) transformed audiences’ appreciation of classical music and musical scores. The RTÉ Concert Orchestra, conducted by Martin Yates, brings to life the best Bernstein soundtracks.
Joined by West End vocalists Sophie Evans, Caroline Sheen, Rob Houchen and Damian Humbley, the RTÉ CO perform songs from hit musicals like New York, New York and I Can Cook Too from On the Town (1944), Big Stuff from Fancy Free (1944), Who Am I? from Peter Pan (1950), and One Hundred Easy Ways to Lose a Man and A Little Bit in Love from Wonderful Town (1953).
From later musical works, the Overture and Suite from the iconic West Side Story (1957) and My New Friends from The Madwoman of Central Park West (1979) are brought to life by the full orchestra and Take Care of Our House from his last original score for Broadway, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (1976).
Written while Bernstein was simultaneously working on the West Side Story score, the Overture, The Best of All Possible Worlds, I Am Easily Assimilated and Make Our Garden Grow from his score for the operetta Candide (first performed 1956) will feature.
Produced in association with West End International Ltd.
