The critically acclaimed Late Night with Leonard Bernstein show hits the road again on June 24th when it’s at the Skirball Center in Los Angeles.
The Washington Post joined the Late Night fun in DC at The Phillips Collection and called the show “the right balance between biographical portraiture, charming nostalgia, and loving remembrance. Burton, who could make you weep singing the federal budget, Boriskin and Musto each contributed to the engaging, relaxed atmosphere of this moving afternoon. As for Jamie Bernstein, all fathers should have such a daughter to lovingly perpetuate their memory.”
Pianist Michael Boriskin sat down with Capitol File Magazine’s Gary Duff in advance of the performance of Late Night with Leonard Bernstein at the Phillips Collection to talk about the show and his collaborators.
