The Bernstein Experience

Pianist Lara Downes performs a special concert in commemoration of the 2018 Leonard Bernstein centennial (one of three events honoring Bernstein this season), playing songs from her most recent recording project Anniversaries for Lenny. By pairing Bernstein’s complete Anniversaries for Piano with a group of newly commissioned “Anniversaries” from prominent composers who are profoundly connected to his body of work, Downes’ program is a uniquely personal tribute to Bernstein.
