The voice students of Coastal Carolina University music professor Jeffery Jones will perform a selection of songs by American composer Leonard Bernstein at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 9 at Coastal Carolina University. The recital is free and open to the public.

The event, which will be held in the Recital Hall of the Thomas W. and Robin W. Edwards College of Humanities and Fine Arts, will showcase students majoring in music and musical theatre.

From the theatre stage to concert halls, Leonard Bernstein was a constant musical presence during the 20th century, well-known for both conducting and composing. His works projected a simple message of understanding and hope employing both complex and simple forms and styles, an approach best expressed in his score to "West Side Story."
