Bernstein here, there and everywhere

The Los Angeles Master Chorale kicks it off its season with Bernstein and “Chichester Psalms”; the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra does likewise with Joshua Bell as soloist in “Serenade”; ditto for Pacific Chorale with “Mass.” The New West Symphony turns to Bernstein’s stage works conducted by John Mauceri. Other than accompanying a screening of the movie version of “West Side Story,” the L.A. Phil won’t gear up for Bernstein big time until next year, but Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony are not waiting, turning September into Bernstein month in the Bay Area.
