Music students shine in May
Student recitals May 9 and 10
Highlights from "West Side Story," the hit Broadway musical and film, will be performed at CSU Monterey Bay’s spring concert on May 4.
Featuring music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, the musical takes the star-crossed-lovers story of "Romeo and Juliet" and sets it in a gang-rich area of 1950s New York City.
Familiar songs – Maria, Tonight, I Feel Pretty, Somewhere, Jets – will be performed by students in the university’s musical theater production class, the concert band and CSUMB singers.
The concert will get under way at 3 p.m. in the World Theater on Sixth Avenue between A and B streets on the CSUMB campus. Driving directions and a campus map are available here.
While the concert is free, attendees must purchase a parking permit from a dispenser on the lot adjacent to the theater.
