The event will begin at 8 p.m. on April 21 and at 3 p.m. on April 22.
A joint effort between the Cabaret For Life, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for life-threatening diseases, and the Axelrod Performing Arts Center, located in Deal, the evening will be conducted by Monmouth Civic Chorus Artistic Director Dr. Ryan James Brandau.
“Conductor and composer of music across all genres – Leonard Bernstein was a musical genius,” said Brandau in a press release. “It’s an honor for the MCC to join forces with the Cabaret for Life and the Axelrod to celebrate Bernstein’s 100th birthday. To have multiple groups in New Jersey collaborate for this esteemed occasion is a fitting tribute.”
