TWO CELEBRATIONS OF LEONARD BERNSTEIN - AT 100.


This year marks the 100th anniversary of Leonard Bernstein's birth.  The music he wrote and conducted, and the musical legacy of his programs for young people, and his many other contributions to the development of the American music scene continue to reverberate.

This year there will be many celebrations of his work:
