ere's a sobering thought for the
baby-boom generation: Jamie
Bernstein, daughter of classical
music hero Leonard Bernstein, is herself
old enough to be a member of AARP.
With more than 50 years as first
daughter, Bernstein is used to questions
about her illustrious father. And she
expects to hear a lot more of them
when she appears Friday, June 18, at
the 2004 Great Lakes Chamber Music
Festival, which runs from June 12-27 at
various sites in southeast Michigan.
Bernstein, writer, radio personality
and the mother of two teenagers, will
be heard as narrator of William
Walton's quirky song cycle Facade.
She'll perform the work at two of the
festival's eight venues — first appearing
at 10 a.m. for the "Beyond the Program
Notes" lecture/concert event at Temple
Beth El in Bloomfield Township and
then traveling to Ann Arbor's
Kerrytown Concert House for an 8
p.m. concert.
A native New Yorker, Bernstein grad-
uated from the city's Brierly School and
went on to Harvard University,
followed by writing courses at
Columbia University. She still
lives in the city's Chelsea sec-
tion "next to a hospital, police
station and fire station.
Fortunately we have very thick
windows," she said in a recent
interview.
In the tradition of her
father's popular Young Peoples'
Concerts, which introduced
millions to the excitement of
music, Bernstein co-wrote
What Makes Music Dance, bet-
ter known as The Bernstein
Beat.
