Join us in celebrating Leonard Bernstein’s Joy of Music !

2018 marks the Centenary of one of America’s greatest and most loved composers.  Symphony orchestras, choruses, opera and musical theater companies around the globe are about to celebrate this milestone.                       

A disciple of “Lenny’s” masterclasses, David Handel was a student of his protege and assistant, Gustav Meier. Leading orchestras in the United States and around the world in most all of Bernstein’s orchestral and choral masterpieces, David Handel is acclaimed as a specialist in the repertoire.

Works programmed during this international celebration include his “Chichester Psalms”, his Symphonies “Jeremiah”, “The Age of Anxiety” and “Kaddish”, his Serenade for Violin and Orchestra, concert suites from “On the Town”, “Candide”, “On the Waterfront”,  and the Symphonic Dances from “West Side Story”.  

In the spirit of Leonard Bernstein’s vision, David Handel is a cultural ambassador, combining his concert engagements with conducting masterclasses and educational  programming.

+ Program packages may include coordination of music rental and rights, engagement of soloists and coordination with US diplomatic missions.
