'66: TALKIN' BOUT MY GENERATION Announced At Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant
Remember the pivotal year 1966 in this rocking throwback concert of music and history. Chronofon reflects on this turbulent time and the impact it has had on our cultural fabric, then and now. Brought to you from 'the studios of radio station WDAK,' our four 'radio personalities' bring you news, commentary, advice for the modern woman, a call-in trivia show, and of course lots of music. Songs include 'Summer in the City,' 'Ain't That Peculiar,' 'Monday, Monday,' 'Sounds of Silence,' 'Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag' and many more.
BWW Review: Chronofon Productions and Open Eye's DEAR LENNY: BERNSTEIN'S LIFE IN SONGS AND LETTERS is a Delightful 90 Minutes of Music, History, and Inspiration
Leonard Bernstein. I know him mostly as the composer of one of my all-time favorite musical theater scores, WEST SIDE STORY (closing this weekend at the Guthrie), as well as other works ranging from classical to popular. But I never really knew much about the man behind the music or what his life was like. Thanks to Open Eye Figure Theatre and the team from Chronofon Productions (Bradley Greenwald, Dan Chouinard, Diana Grasselli, and Prudence Johnson), I now feel like I have an even greater appreciation for the music as well as the person who created it. DEAR LENNY: BERNSTEIN'S LIFE IN SONGS AND LETTERS is a well constructed and entertaining deep dive into the life and work of one of the best American composers of the 20th Century.
