The signature piece of this evening is the West Coast premier of a modern arrangement of Bernstein’s West Side Story as a Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra. Arranged by Randall Fleicher and originally premiered by the Chicago Sinfonietta in 2012, Fleischer wrote of the original, “this brilliant show encompasses almost the entire range of the human experience within one evening.”
