The program will include excerpts from "West Side Story,” “Candide," “On the Town,” “Trouble in Tahiti,” “A Quiet Place," “Chichester Psalms” and Bernstein's Symphony No. 2 “The Age of Anxiety” and Symphony No. 3 “Kaddish.”
“Maestro” was nominated for seven Oscars, including for best picture and best actor, for Cooper.
