Celebrate the brilliance of Leonard Bernstein with this one-night-only fundraising concert, created specifically by Musical Theatre Guild. AN EVENING WITH THE MAESTRO: MTG SINGS BERNSTEIN honors the legendary composer’s legacy with selections from his iconic musical theatre works—On the Town, Wonderful Town, Candide, and West Side Story—alongside rarely performed pieces and classical gems.
