Jamie Bernstein: “Bernstein Remix! is a wonderful way to remind today’s listeners of my dad’s musical multiplicities, reflected off the many facets of these brilliant musicians. Plus, we get a blazing new expression of Bernstein’s lifelong devotion to using music to make our world a better place.”
An evening to delight Bernstein aficionados, Lenny newbies – and everyone in between, of all ages!
