Description
Composer, conductor, and perhaps most importantly, a born teacher, Leonard Bernstein (1918-90) was a unique voice in American music of the 20 the century. His creative energies appeared boundless encompassing theater, symphonic works, film scores, ballets, opera, chamber music, and concerts designed especially for children. He presented lectures and authored books, famously helped define jazz alongside Louis Armstrong, and generously gave of himself as a philanthropist, and political and social activist.
