Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Leonard Bernstein’s daughter, Jamie Bernstein.

Jamie Bernstein, is an author, narrator, director, broadcaster and filmmaker who also happens to be the daughter of one of the greatest legendary composers and conductors the world has ever known, Leonard Bernstein.

He’s been immortalized by the genius of his many iconic compositions. His Broadway shows: “On the Town”, “Wonderful Town”, “Candide” and “West Side Story”; the film score to the movie, “On the Waterfront”; and his magnificent, timeless operas, symphonies, ballets and theatre pieces including “Trouble in Tahiti” and the sequel, “A Quiet Place”, “Prelude, Fugue and Riffs”, Symphony Number 1: Jeremiah; “Mass: A Theatre Piece for Singers, Players and Dancers”, Symphony Number 3: Kaddish, Dybbuk, Songfest, Divertimento, and Arias and Barcarolles. And his renowned, groundbreaking Young People’s Concerts turned all of us into music lovers.

Jamie Bernstein writes and narrates educational concerts all around the world, not only about her father in “The Bernstein Beat”, but also about Mozart, Aaron Copland, Stravinsky, and other great composers. She’s produced and hosted the New York Philharmonic’s live national radio broadcasts, as well as many summer broadcasts from Tanglewood, and educational concerts for the New World Symphony in Miami.

She also narrated the highly acclaimed podcast “The NY Phil Story: Made in New York.” And she co-directed the multi-award winning documentary film entitled, “Crescendo: the Power of Music”, which celebrates the amazing social transformation that happens when children from disadvantaged urban communities, participate in youth orchestra programs.

Jamie Bernstein has dedicated her career to perpetuating and honoring her father’s legacy. In addition to presenting the “Bernstein Beat” concerts, she created and edits a newsletter called “Prelude, Fugue & Riffs,” to keep the international community of Leonard Bernstein fans connected. In 2018 she released her highly compelling, fascinating and poignant book entitled, “Famous Father Girl: A Memoir of Growing Up Bernstein”.

Jamie and her 2 siblings Alexander and Nina, provided much input into the making of the brand new film about their father called, “Maestro”, starring Bradley Cooper, which is now showing on Netflix.

Harvey has been a role model and icon in the LGBTQ community. When same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada in 2003, he was the only judge to make himself publicly available to officiate at weddings for lesbian and gay couples travelling to Toronto from all over the world to get married. In 2007, he officiated at the wedding of Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, the American couple whose marriage triggered the 2013 United States Supreme Court decision overturning the definition of "spouse" in the federal Defence of Marriage Act.

In February 2021, Harvey launched his online talk show "Harvey Brownstone Interviews" on his own YouTube channel. He saw this as an interesting hobby. Within several months, the show attracted hundreds of thousands - and then eventually, millions - of viewers. Because of the overwhelming success of the show, Harvey decided to retire from the judiciary on December 31, 2021 after having presided as a full-time judge for 26 1/2 years. Free from the constraints imposed upon judges regarding the expression of opinions and the endorsement of private enterprise, Harvey now happily devotes his full-time attention to hosting "Harvey Brownstone Interviews" as a regular member of the public - albeit one with a rather illustrious and unique career history.
