]]> As part of the celebration of 100th anniversary of composer/conductor Leonard Bernstein’s birth, John Mauceri is leading the New West Symphony in an evening of music from Bernstein’s works for the stage. This includes, of course, West Side Story along with Candide (soon to be performed by LA Opera in its entirety), Wonderful Town and On the Town. Joining Mauceri will be Suzanna Guzmán, The Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles and Davis Gaines (LA’s longest running “Phantom”) and others. This concert takes place on Friday, November 17th at the Valley Performing Arts Center.

No doubt Mauceri will be following Bernstein’s own advice:  “I’m not interested in having the orchestra sound like itself. I want it to sound like the composer.”
