National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain play Bernstein and John Williams

Kwamé Ryan conducts the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain in Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story, plus music by John Williams and James Newton Howard.

Just another night at the Royal Festival Hall? No! The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain promises to deliver 'a totally electrifying live musical experience'. But as you might already know, the world's greatest orchestra of teenagers routinely provides those, in any case. Recorded on Sunday, Georgia Mann presents what will undoubtedly be a very lively occasion, centred on the music from Leonard Bernstein's seven-decades-old but forever-young West Side Story.
