Ron Ramin was born and raised in New York City. He earned his undergraduate degree at Princeton University, where he majored in music and studied privately with composer Milton Babbitt. Upon graduation, he moved to Los Angeles where he composed music for 20 Primetime television series and 30 movies/telefilms. Ron is the recipient of a CableACE Award, a Primetime EMMY nomination, and TV/Film Awards from BMI and ASCAP. In recent years he has shifted his focus to composing for the concert hall. This includes "Golden State of Mind," a symphonic suite depicting the beauty & drama of the California landscape and its cultural diversity. “Greetings!" was given its world premiere performance in 2016 by the Marin Symphony, conducted by Music Director Alasdair Neale. His latest work, SEVENTEEN, is a narrative work for orchestra and six on-stage Gen Z narrators. Days after the 2018 mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida, librettist Portia Kamons and Ron began to work on an artistic response to the relentless plague of gun violence in American schools and communities. Their attention soon focused on the rising generation of young people channeling their grief and anger into deliberate and effective action. They were bringing extraordinary commitment, determination, and energy to multiple challenges of their time. Ron & Portia were also determined to bring classical music audiences together with young people for an orchestral performance and thoughtful discussion. From the beginning they committed to employ verbatim text from the young Americans themselves. SEVENTEEN is their story, told in their own words. The Orlando Philharmonic commissioned it and gave the premiere performance Nov 8, 2024. Eric Jacobsen, their innovative music director, conducted the performance and Jamie Bernstein directed the six young on-stage narrators. The orchestra, to its credit, made this a free community event that included a thoughtful discussion and Q&A following the performance. A former Board member of the Society of Composers and Lyricists, Ron currently resides in Northern California and New York City. Portia Kamons is a producer and librettist working with newly commissioned pieces in theatre, live events, music and feature film. With composer Ron Ramin, she is the co-creator and librettist for SEVENTEEN, a narrative work for Orchestra that received its world premiere by the Orlando Philharmonic on 8 November 2024. She was the Executive Producer for Virtua Creative on the US WW1 Centennial Commemoration narrated by Kevin Costner, as well as Exec Producer for "Visions of Peace" a special project for the WW1 Centennial with President Jimmy Carter. Portia was the lead producer of Tennyson Bardwell's feature film DORIAN BLUES which won 14 awards at festivals worldwide. She was a founding member and the first General Manager of Primary Stages Theatre in New York City, and a Producer for the NextWave Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. For many years she worked for as a producer with En Garde Arts in New York City, and the London International Festival of Theatre in the UK where she lives.

Jamie Bernstein's 2018 memoir, Famous Father Girl, traces the story of growing up with composer-conductor Leonard Bernstein, and pianist and actress Felicia Montealegre in an atmosphere bursting with music, theatre and literature.

As we prepare to launch our fourth season at iHeartRadio, we're revisiting some of host Alec Baldwin's favorite episodes from the archives. In advance of the release of the film “Maestro” – directed by and starring Bradley Cooper – we're sharing Alec's interview with two of Leonard Bernstein's three children. Alec speaks with Jamie and Alexander Bernstein about life growing up with the world-famous conductor and composer. While they knew him in the tux and tails, they also knew him as the dad who loved games — he was a killer at anagrams — and was always up for tennis, squash, skiing, or touch football. The two talk about listening to music — Jamie says she learned “more about music by listening to The Beatles with my dad than I think I did any other way”— and how their father's relationship to fame evolved during his lifetime. Alex remembers his dad saying, “I'm so sick of Leonard Bernstein. I've had it with him."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The new film "Maestro" is directed by Bradley Cooper, who stars as famed composer and New York Philharmonic conductor Leonard Bernstein, alongside Carrie Mulligan as his wife Felicia. Their oldest daughter, Jamie Bernstein, host of the WQXR podcast, The NY Phil Story: Made in New York, joins us to discuss watching her parent's love story come to life. "Maestro" is in select theaters now and will be on Netflix December 20.
After being the latest celebrity contestant to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing at Blackpool's Tower Ballroom, Angela Rippon tells Emma Barnett about forming a lifelong friendship with her 28-year-old dance partner Kai Waddington. At 79, she was the oldest competitor in the series and has wowed the judges and the audience with her flexible dance moves. Sam Fraser started working as a standby weather presenter for BBC South in 2012. When a fan club for her bottom surfaced online and she became a topic on the YouTube channel, Babes of Britain, she soon realised her public reception was not on par with her male counterparts. She turned to stand-up comedy as an outlet – and compiled the experiences of women in her job to produce an Edinburgh Fringe Show, as well as Scorchio! The Story of the Weather Girl, which is on BBC Radio 4 this week. Yvette Greenway-Mansfield won a record settlement of at least £1 million from the NHS in September after her vaginal mesh implant following a hysterectomy caused traumatic complications. We hear her story and about her ongoing campaign on behalf of other sufferers. The legendary composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein's eldest daughter Jamie talks to Emma about her father and the new film about his life, Maestro, which is released this week. And Noam Sagi talks about waiting for news of his mother currently being held hostage in the Israeli-Gaza war. Presenter: Emma Barnett Producer: Lisa Jenkinson Studio Manager: Tim Heffer
We were thrilled to have screenwriter Josh Singer, producer Kristie Macosko Krieger, Leonard Bernstein's daughter Jamie Bernstein, makeup designer Kazu Hiro, costume designer Mark Bridges, production designer Kevin Thompson, production sound mixer Steve Morrow, and Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the conducting consultant and conductor for new recordings and Music Director of The Metropolitan Opera, discuss their work on Bradley Cooper's Maestro, the Spotlight Gala selection of NYFF61, with NYFF Main Slate committee member Justin Chang. In his directorial follow-up to A Star Is Born, Bradley Cooper dramatizes the public and private lives of legendary musician Leonard Bernstein with sensitivity, visual ingenuity, and symphonic splendor. Coasting on the boundless energy of its subject's runaway genius, Maestro transports the viewer back to a vividly re-created postwar New York, when Bernstein (Cooper) began his stratospheric rise to international fame as both a conductor and composer, and also when he first met Felicia (Carey Mulligan), the actress whom he would marry and spend his life with. Maestro is a tender, often intensely emotional film about the different faces one wears when living in the public eye, depicting the complicated yet devoted decades-spanning relationship between Leonard and Felicia. Fueled by Cooper and Mulligan's perfectly matched duet of towering performances, Matthew Libatique's balletic cinematography, and, of course, Bernstein's thrilling music, Maestro is a tour de force for its director. A Netflix release. Don't forget to mark your calendars: Maestro opens in theaters on November 22 and on Netflix December 20. Tickets to the New York Film Festival are moving fast!

The New York Philharmonic has been performing for over 180 years and is America's oldest operating orchestra. A new podcast from WQXR, The NY Phil Story: Made in New York, launched last week. The podcast dives into the history of the orchestra and the people who have played in it. Host Jamie Bernstein joins us to discuss the history of the NY Phil and take your calls.
On December 7, 1842, a group of musicians gathered in the Apollo Rooms in Lower Manhattan and performed – for the first time – as the Philharmonic Society of New York. The first piece they played? Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. In this episode, we try to listen to that most famous of famous symphonies as our 1842 audience would have: as if for the very first time. And, host Jamie Bernstein follows the twists and turns on the journey an early musician, Solidor Milon, took to get to that stage. Even today, the path that NY Phil musicians take to Lincoln Center is a breathtaking one, as we hear in the story of concertmaster Frank Huang.A transcript of this episode is available on our website: nyphilstory.com

Jag älskar två saker, musik och människor, sa dirigenten och tonsättaren Leonard Bernstein, som med sin unika förmåga att dela med sig av musiken och sin kunskap var så mycket mer än en musiker. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. För den stora allmänheten blev Leonard Bernstein på många sätt själva sinnebilden av en klassisk musiker när han på 50- och 60-talet stod på pulten framför de stora orkestrarna i direktsänd tv. Han kommunicerade musiken till en miljonpublik, berättade om hur musiken är uppbyggd och om kompositörer som Mahler, Sibelius, Stravinsky, Hindemith och Aaron Copland. Leonard Bernstein läraren var välsignad med en enastående pedagogisk förmåga. Många musiker har genom åren vittnat om hur betydelsefull Bernsteins gärning varit för dem i att välja en bana inom musikens värld. Johan Korssell reser till New York för att besöka platser som var centrala i Bernsteins liv. Han träffar dottern Jamie Bernstein i The Bernstein Family Apartment på Manhattan, beger sig till New York-filharmonikernas arkiv, möter musikkritikern och Bernstein-beundraren David Hurwitz och tar sig slutligen till Leonard Bernsteins grav i Green-Wood Cemetery i Brooklyn. En dokumentär från 2021 av Johan Korssell.

All Rights Reserved Six decades after Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins' iconic film hit the screens, director Steven Spielberg's new production of West Side Story is due to be released in cinemas this Friday, and presenter Tom Service is joined by the Hollywood director, the new Maria - Rachel Zegler - as well as arranger David Newman and choreographer Justin Peck, to learn more about their aspirations for this modern-day Romeo and Juliet story. As the 1961 film celebrates its 60th anniversary, we hear from Jamie Bernstein who shares her memories of her father's involvement in this now classic musical. We eavesdrop on the author, composer and critic Neil Brand, and Tom too, as they re-watch the original movie and reflect on the lyrical, musical and choreographic magic that made West Side Story so powerful. The tenor José Carreras recollects his role in the historic 1985 recording of West Side Story - the first complete recording of the piece with Bernstein conducting - and the American-British playwright, novelist, and critic Bonnie Greer considers how the social issues and tensions of New York's barrios in the 1950s and 1960s remain as alive and relevant for contemporary audiences.

Did you know that when playing your instrument, that there's actually a question of ergonomics? Beyond getting the best sound possible, is there a better way to hold your instrument? Is your posture the best for you when performing? Are you standing or sitting correctly? How about that pain-related playing you experience after long hours of practicing or performing. Are the bad habits you've picked up over the years, or even in the past year of the pandemic lockdown, fixable. Does the imbalance of your instrument cause you physical pain? Angela McCuiston is here to explain it all to us. We talk about taking care of your body, along with taking care of your hearing, all things that musicians (or anyone who works in the music industry, for that matter) should pay close attention to.

In the vein of Small Fry by Lisa Brennan Jobs and Famous Father Girl by Jamie Bernstein, Cherington’s memoir explores her life as a Pulitzer prize winning poet’s daughter: how she confronts her family’s myths and her beloved father’s betrayals while finding her voice and establishing her own legacy. A celebrated writer in her own right (her essay “Maine Roustabout” was nominated for a 2012 Pushcart Prize), her father Richard Eberhart was a household name whose literary career spanned eight decades, including his roles as poet-in-residence-turned-emeritus professor at Dartmouth, U.S. Poet Laureate under Eisenhower and Kennedy from 1959-1961, and winner of the Bollinger prize in 1962, the Pulitzer Prize in 1966, and the National Book Award in 1977 (with an additional 5 nominations). To the world, her father was untouchable, a revered celebrity talent. But to Gretchen, he was just her beloved dad. Until he wasn’t.

This week Alec sits down with Jamie and Alex Bernstein, to hear about growing up with the maestro, Leonard Bernstein. Bernstein had three children: Jamie, Alexander and Nina. And while they knew him in the tux and tails, they also knew him as the dad who loved games – he was a killer at anagrams – and always up for tennis or squash or skiing or touch football. Jamie and Alexander talk to Alec about listening to music – Jamie says she learned “more about music by listening to The Beatles with my dad than I think I did any other way” – and how their father's relationship to fame evolved during his lifetime. Alex remembers his dad saying, “I'm so sick of Leonard Bernstein. I've had it with him." Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com
