This week the San Francisco Symphony and its' FABULOUS conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, will open New York's Carnegie Hall with a fantastic tribute to MTT's mentor, American music legend Leonard Bernstein. Lenny, who passed away in 1990, would have been 90 this year. Cat and I had a chance to see the performance last weekend before MTT and the SFS took it out on the road. They are going to knock it out of the park in New York. This show has everything, from the orchestra snapping along during the Jets versus Sharks prologue from Westside Story, to MTT joining in and singing(!) during the terrific finale, "Ya Got Me" from On The Town. Too fun.
Yes, I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for musicals and showtunes. Go ahead, laugh. I'll be doing the MAMBO!
