Summary
Aku Sorensen conducts the Hallé Youth Orchestra in a performance of Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story at The Bridgewater Hall.
Why it's fantastic
You might recognize these rhythms from the screen, but hearing them live reveals the gritty, urban energy of the original orchestrations. These symphonic dances distill the entire drama into a sharp twenty-minute burst, making it an ideal entry point for anyone who enjoys jazz-infused grit and sophisticated storytelling.
