Celebrate the centennial of Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) with an intimate look into the life and music of this remarkable man, composer, conductor, musician, and father, through the eyes of his daughter Nina Bernstein Simmons.
Leonard Bernstein, a well-known insomniac for whom night was a time for creativity and friendship, was often found entertaining guests late into the night. Hosted by his daughter Nina and featuring soprano Amy Burton and pianists John Musto and Michael Boriskin, this performance is an affectionate, multi-media portrait of the personal side of this singularly public figure.
