Carnegie Hall 125th Anniversary: ‘Somewhere Project’ Explores ‘West Side Story’

Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story is perhaps the most pivotal musical of the 20th Century, pivotal not only for its timeless themes but also for its revolutionary use of music in connection with choreography. For Carnegie Hall’s 125th Anniversary, the Weill Music Institute is paying homage to this giant among musicals with a venture called the Somewhere Project. At the center of this event will be three full performances of West Side Story at the Knockdown Center in Queens, NY from March 4th-6th, 2016.
