School of Rock—The Musical, which will arrive on Broadway this fall, is currently enjoying a brief residency at the Gramercy Theatre in New York, to polish its script and score before the high-tech aspects of the show are added. The cast offered a sneak peek for the media the morning of June 11.
The program is targeted to "students in arts-deficient New York City public middle schools that have demonstrated a commitment to academic performance despite limited access to the city's vast cultural resources."
Next year, Carnegie Hall's house band will perform Bernstein’s “Kaddish” Symphony, unfinished works by Schubert, and the final concert of Conductor Bernard Labadie.
