performance Riverside launches its 2019-20 season with West Side Story, a classic musical masterpiece that explores themes of race, young love, tradition and the immigrant experience.
Filled with soaring vocals like Maria, Tonight, I Feel Pretty, America, and dynamic and explosive dance numbers,West Side Story is considered one of the most groundbreaking musicals ever written. It takes the most famous romantic drama of all time, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and sets it loose in epic fashion on the streets of 1950s New York, finding two idealistic young lovers, Tony and Maria caught between warring street gangs — the Jets and the Sharks.

Juilliard performed for close to 100 Carlmont High School Students during a workshop event in late October organized by the school’s music director Brian Switzer.

“Juilliard musicians are like young NASA scientists on instruments. There’s so much talent there,” he said. “I wanted to expose that to my students.”

Switzer brought together about 100 students from the school’s symphony orchestra and jazz ensemble for the visit, including trumpet players Joey Du Bois, who is a junior, and freshman Lucas Fedronic. The two will be performing in a concert featuring Carlmont jazz ensembles and combos 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, that will be broadcast live on KCEA 89.1 FM.
