About the work
Bernstein's 1957 musical West Side Story transplants Romeo and Juliet to the streets of New York, its gang-war tragedy scored in a hybrid of jazz, Latin rhythm and Broadway song. Paul Bateman's arrangement threads the show's best-known numbers into a suite for solo violin and string orchestra, the violin taking the voices of Tony and Maria in melodies such as "Maria," "Tonight" and "Somewhere." Theatrical bite and concerto brilliance in a single span.
