To commemorate the 90th anniversary of Leonard Bernstein’s birth, and the 50th anniversary of his appointment as music director of the New York Philharmonic, Carnegie Hall and the New York Philharmonic present a celebration featuring more than 30 events in seven different venues throughout New York City. These events—including concerts of his three symphonies; music for film, ballet, and stage; recitals, lectures, panel discussions, exhibits, and films; a semi-staged production of his seminal musical
On the Town; and a performance of his monumental
Mass—provide a spectacular overview of the breadth of this legendary New Yorker’s contributions to both the American and international musical cultures.
