About the Concert

Once across the pond and back again! This time there is a lot of rhythm involved when it comes to America or when an American falls in love with the city during a visit to Paris. Leonard Bernstein was not only a brilliant conductor, but also the composer of the musical "West Side Story", a modern version of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" set in New York with groovy Latin American melodies and dances. But be careful when strolling through Paris! George Gershwin gave his American tourists a lot of jazz here. Keep your eyes open in traffic! Real car horns are playing here this time.
