Pasadena Young Musicians Orchestra (PYMO) plays the Overture from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein. This is from their concert November 23, 2008 at Pasadena City College in the Sexson Auditorium. Jo Raquel Stoup, Director.
@HectorJW2007 There are 2 editions of this overture: the original pit orchestration and one for full orchestra by Maurice Peress, which is the version in this video. This version was once for sale but is now only available by rental from Boosey. You can find the original pit version as a "condensed" score (piano with orch cues) in the new "vocal score" of the complete musical, at the end as an appendix. They didn't include it in the full score (hardcover). Is this the edition you have?
@HectorJW2007 The Original Movie Soundtrack has it. You can buy it on iTunes. This is my favorite movie/musical/soundtrack of all time. And I'm completely WAY over-obsessed. (: This overture includes "Somwhere", and it sounds like the one from the Original Broadway Cast recording, so I think this is a different arrangement. But it's still too wonderful to be true. <3

Where can I get the full score of this? I have the complete musical but it doesn't have an Overture, I'm sorry to say, it starts with the Prologue.
