Boston Pops celebrates Bernstein’s anniversary at Wolf Trap

Published August 18, 2008 4:00am ET



Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra celebrate Leonard Bernstein’s 90th anniversary with a program heralding the composer’s diversity and evergreen appeal. Joining the maestro and instrumentalists at Wolf Trap are an ensemble of Tanglewood vocal fellows, young singers with magnificent voices on the verge of exciting careers.

“Bernstein was among the pantheon of American composers who left an incredible legacy,” Lockhart says. “He wrote so much of value that choosing the program was difficult. Although many of his serious concert works don’t fit the parameters of our show, we’ll perform an ample variety, including the wonderful dance suite from ‘Fancy Free,’ excerpts from his ‘On The Waterfront’ score and selections from his many Broadway shows.”
