NYFOS founders, artistic directors and pianists Steven Blier and Michael Barrett will host the performance, which will be followed by dinner at the 21 Club. Remembering Lenny will feature reminiscences by Bernstein's three children, Alexander, Jamie and Nina Bernstein, as well as Sondheim and the previously announced Barbara Cook, Matthew Epstein, Marilyn Horne, Phyllis Newman, Harold Prince, Frederica Von Stade and Jessye Norman.

The pair will be joined by Julia Bullock, who is featured on the soon-to-be-released concert version of West Side Story, and Lauren Worsham, who played Cunegonde in New York City Opera's 2008 production of Bernstein's Candide and is currently appearing on Broadway in A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder.
