Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Leonard Bernstein’s daughter, Jamie Bernstein

About Harvey's guests:

Today’s guest, Jamie Bernstein, is an author, narrator, director, broadcaster and filmmaker who also happens to be the daughter of one of the greatest legendary composers and conductors the world has ever known, Leonard Bernstein.

He’s been immortalized by the genius of his many iconic compositions. His Broadway shows: “On the Town”, “Wonderful Town”, “Candide” and “West Side Story”; the film score to the movie, “On the Waterfront”; and his magnificent, timeless operas, symphonies, ballets and theatre pieces including “Trouble in Tahiti” and the sequel, “A Quiet Place”, “Prelude, Fugue and Riffs”, Symphony Number 1: Jeremiah; “Mass: A Theatre Piece for Singers, Players and Dancers”, Symphony Number 3: Kaddish, Dybbuk, Songfest, Divertimento, and Arias and Barcarolles. And his renowned, groundbreaking Young People’s Concerts turned all of us into music lovers.

Our guest writes and narrates educational concerts all around the world, not only about her father in “The Bernstein Beat”, but also about Mozart, Aaron Copland, Stravinsky, and other great composers. She’s produced and hosted the New York Philharmonic’s live national radio broadcasts, as well as many summer broadcasts from Tanglewood, and educational concerts for the New World Symphony in Miami.

She also narrated the highly acclaimed podcast “The NY Phil Story: Made in New York.” And she co-directed the multi-award winning documentary film entitled, “Crescendo: the Power of Music”, which celebrates the amazing social transformation that happens when children from disadvantaged urban communities, participate in youth orchestra programs.

Our guest has dedicated her career to perpetuating and honoring her father’s legacy. In addition to presenting the “Bernstein Beat” concerts, she created and edits a newsletter called “Prelude, Fugue & Riffs,” to keep the international community of Leonard Bernstein fans connected.

In 2018 our guest released her highly compelling, fascinating and poignant book entitled, “Famous Father Girl: A Memoir of Growing Up Bernstein”.

And she and her 2 siblings Alexander and Nina, provided much input into the making of the brand new film about their father called, “Maestro”, starring Bradley Cooper, which is now showing on Netflix.
