Jamie Bernstein is the daughter of the late Leonard Bernstein. She is a writer and broadcaster, who has worked to preserve her father's legacy since his death in 1990. To that end, she hosted the New York Philharmonic's live national radio broadcasts and other programs and narrated concerts with orchestras around the United States and in China and Cuba.
Bernstein's daughter gives a new generation of audiences an inside look at such marvelous 20th-century Broadway classics as "West Side Story" and "on the Town". Melodies soar, sonic textures shimmer, and propulsive rhythms dance in this irrepressible program.
