Watch the full recording of Bernstein's Three Dances From On The Town now on our channel. Recorded live in Orchestra Hall September 27, 2024. The musical On The Town was the first Broadway showcase for four important talents: composer Leonard Bernstein, choreographer Jerome Robbins, and the songwriting team of Adolph Comden and Betty Green. Based on the 1944 Bernstein/Robbins ballet Fancy Free, this musical expanded the original into an energetic and carefree story of four sailors on 24-hour shore leave in New York. On The Town became Bernstein's first big hit is filled with vitality and imagination. The opening of the sailors' trio "New York, New York" is to this day often used as a lead-in or background for scenes of Manhattan. The DSO most recently performed Bernstein's Three Dance Episodes from On the Town in July 2018, conducted by Joshua Gersen. The DSO first performed the piece in February 1989, conducted by Leslie B. Dunner.
