Leonard Bernstein — The Jewish Side with Dr. Joshua Jacobson
Leonard Bernstein took the musical world by storm with his spectacular last-minute, a-star-is-born conducting turn at the New York Philharmonic in 1943, filling in for the ailing Bruno Walter. Until his passing in 1990, he was astonishingly active as a conductor, composer (in both classical and popular idioms), pianist, and teacher. And Bernstein was a devoted Jew throughout his life. This event will explore Bernstein’s Judaism and how it was manifest in his musical output.
