Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Leonard Bernstein's daughter, Jamie Bernstein About Harvey's guests: Today's guest, Jamie Bernstein, is an author, narrator, director, broadcaster and filmmaker who also happens to be the daughter of one of the greatest legendary composers and conductors the world has ever known, Leonard Bernstein. He's been immortalized by the genius of his many iconic compositions. His Broadway shows: “On the Town”, “Wonderful Town”, “Candide” and “West Side Story”; the film score to the movie, “On the Waterfront”; and his magnificent, timeless operas, symphonies, ballets and theatre pieces including “Trouble in Tahiti” and the sequel, “A Quiet Place”, “Prelude, Fugue and Riffs”, Symphony Number 1: Jeremiah; “Mass: A Theatre Piece for Singers, Players and Dancers”, Symphony Number 3: Kaddish, Dybbuk, Songfest, Divertimento, and Arias and Barcarolles. And his renowned, groundbreaking Young People's Concerts turned all of us into music lovers. Our guest writes and narrates educational concerts all around the world, not only about her father in “The Bernstein Beat”, but also about Mozart, Aaron Copland, Stravinsky, and other great composers. She's produced and hosted the New York Philharmonic's live national radio broadcasts, as well as many summer broadcasts from Tanglewood, and educational concerts for the New World Symphony in Miami. She also narrated the highly acclaimed podcast “The NY Phil Story: Made in New York.” And she co-directed the multi-award winning documentary film entitled, “Crescendo: the Power of Music”, which celebrates the amazing social transformation that happens when children from disadvantaged urban communities, participate in youth orchestra programs. Our guest has dedicated her career to perpetuating and honoring her father's legacy. In addition to presenting the “Bernstein Beat” concerts, she created and edits a newsletter called “Prelude, Fugue & Riffs,” to keep the international community of Leonard Bernstein fans connected. In 2018 our guest released her highly compelling, fascinating and poignant book entitled, “Famous Father Girl: A Memoir of Growing Up Bernstein”. And she and her 2 siblings Alexander and Nina, provided much input into the making of the brand new film about their father called, “Maestro”, starring Bradley Cooper, which is now showing on Netflix.

Peter Asher (Peter & Gordon) and Jeremy Clyde (Chad & Jeremy) were the softer counterparts to the hard rock beat groups of the British Invasion era of the 1960s. Peter & Gordon had massive hits with songs like “A World Without Love” and “I Go To Pieces”. Peter went on to have an illustrious career in the music business, first as the head of A&R for Apple Records where he signed a then-unknown James Taylor, then as producer for many artists including Linda Ronstadt, and currently as the host of “From Me To You”, a weekly Beatles show on Sirius/XM. Jeremy was half of Chad & Jeremy and had several big hits including “Yesterday's Gone” and “A Summer Song”. He recently was a guest on this podcast. Peter and Jeremy tour together these days. We do two Songfests - one where we select and discuss several favorite British Invasion era songs by other artists that were One Hit Wonders or off the beaten path. And the other where we play and discuss a few of Peter & Gordon's hits plus a Peter and Jeremy song.My featured song is “This Time” from my new album, “Bobby M and the Paisley Parade”.

Michael Rader (michaelrader.com)(IG:@mrmichaelrader)(TW:@mrmichaelrader) is a director, artistic director and arts consultant based in New York City who made his mark internationally as an Artistic Director for Cirque du Soleil. Her is the current Acting General Manager for Theatre Aspen. Prior to that, he served as the Artistic Director and then Producing Artistic Director for the historic Cape Playhouse where he was celebrated for leading the organization through a significant renaissance and securing the theatre's position in the American Theatre landscape. His diverse career in the arts has afforded him positions such as a Resident Director for Cirque du Soleil, Broadway Liaison and Arts Education Consultant to the New York City Department of Education and Director of Entertainment for Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. During Rader's tenure with The Cape Playhouse, the organization flourished through a remarkable period of growth and advancement. During this five-year period, Rader was responsible for innovative advancements in programming, significant improvements to the quality of productions, implementing a new arts education wing, substantially expanding and overhauling all production and artistic departments, securing vital funding for infrastructure advancements and programming expansions, and modifying The Playhouse's performance calendar to allow for the implementation of higher quality and Broadway-caliber productions. These advancements resulted in substantial increases in ticket sales, a vast resurgence of patrons and subscribers, successful fundraising that set the theatre on strong financial footing, being named one of the “50 Best Small Stage Theatres in America", consistently being awarded "Best Cape Cod Theatre" each season under his leadership, the elimination of all preexisting debt, the generation of significant profits each season after a prolonged period of financial loss, and netting nearly one-million dollars in cumulative assets. Under his leadership, Cape Playhouse highlights included Gypsy starring Julia Murney, Steel Magnolias starring Judy Kuhn and Mary Testa, Little Shop of Horrors starring Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Noises Off with Heidi Gardner, The Importance of Being Earnest with Edward Hibbert and productions of Million Dollar Quartet, South Pacific and A Chorus Line that broke previous box office records. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Mr. Rader guided the transformation of programming to include outdoor concerts, New England centric lectures, a streaming production of A Christmas Carol, the creation of The Gertrude Lawrence Awards, and diverse digital content, including an array of online educational offerings. Rader was also responsible for forming and leading a national Covid Taskforce comprising senior leadership from arts organizations around the United States, designed to help theatres collaborate on successfully navigating the pandemic. The culmination of Rader's tenure at The Playhouse allowed for the launch of a master plan initiative and expansive capital campaign aimed at significant renovations and expansions for the 22-acre arts campus. The Cape Playhouse exists today as one of the great surviving icons of the American summer theater. Select additional highlights as a director, producer or associate include: A Christmas Story; The Musical(National Tour), Stalking The Bogeyman (NYTimes Critics Pick, Outer Critics Circle Nomination), Varekai(Cirque Du Soleil), The Testament of Mary, Deep Love (NYMF 2015), A Christmas Carol (National Tour), Mandela! with Norm Lewis, You are Not Alone with Betty Buckley and Lea DeLaria, and productions with Sacramento Music Circus, The ZACH Theatre, The York Theatre Company, The Actors Studio Repertory Theatre, The Human Race Theatre, The Dramatist Guild, The Huron Playhouse, The Forestburgh Playhouse, Joe's Pub and the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway benefit production of William Finn's Elegies: A Song Cycle. Michael's direction of the show, benefiting marriage equality, was acclaimed as "…profound and visionary". Following the 2013 Broadway production, Rader was granted the exclusive rights to re-conceive Colm Tóibín's controversial hit play The Testament of Mary. Rader's reimagined version features five actresses sharing the title role – each woman representing a different cultural ideal of Mary. Michael is passionate about and committed to finding ways of utilizing the arts as a tool to empower the lives of those less fortunate, especially children in need. It was during his initial time working with chronically ill children that Michael fully realized his passion for humanitarian work, especially when it involved working within the arts. He regularly teaches acting and audition technique classes in NYC and has served on the faculty of SongFest at the Colburn School in Los Angeles and The Summit School near Washington, DC. Rader is a graduate of Wright State University, the esteemed Actors Studio MFA Directing Program, an alumnus of the Lincoln Center Theater Directors Lab and a proud member of SDC.

Synopsis On today's date in 1928, the Danish composer Carl Nielsen conducted the first public performance of his new Clarinet Concerto in Copenhagen. “The clarinet,” said Nielsen, “can, at one and the same time seem utterly hysterical, gentle as balsam, or as screechy as a streetcar on badly greased rails.” Nielsen set himself the task of covering that whole range of the instrument's conflicting emotions and colors. He wrote it for a Danish clarinetist he admired named Aage Oxenvad, who played both the public premiere on today's date and a private reading a few weeks earlier. After the private performance Oxenvad is supposed to have muttered: “Nielsen must be able to play the clarinet himself — otherwise he would hardly have been able to find all the instrument's WORST notes.” The concerto's wild mood-swings puzzled audiences in 1928, but today it's regarded as one of Nielsen's most original works. In October of 1996, another Clarinet Concerto received its premiere when American composer John Adams conducted the first performance of his work Gnarly Buttons with soloist Michael Collins. This concerto contains a bittersweet tribute to Adams' father, a clarinetist who fell victim to Alzheimer's disease. In Adams' concerto, the swing tunes slide into dementia, but the concerto ends with a kind of benediction.

The Cowsills had an incredible ride in the 1960s. A family-based band with up to 6 siblings plus their mom, they went from playing cover songs to being discovered and featured on the Today Show, which was watched by Johnny Nash of "I Can See Clearly Now" fame who then signed this all-white group of kids to his black record label. After adding their mom into the group and completely changing their musical style they had a string of hits with "The Rain, The Park, And Other Things", "Hair" and "Indian Lake".

They earned six Top 10 hits - including "Blowin In The Wind" and "Leaving On A Jet Plane" - and 8 Gold albums, quite remarkable for a folk group.Noel and I discuss the folk scene in Greenwich Village in the early 60s and all the remarkable future stars who were there including Bob Dylan and Tom Paxton, how PP&M burst on the scene with their first album, their participation in the 1963 March On Washington led by Dr. Martin Luther King, and much more including Noel's long and highly regarded solo career post-PP&M.
