Events › Virtual/Call In: Active Minds Mondays - Leonard Bernstein

Jefferson County Library believes we can always be connecting and learning. Thank you for joining us! Check our website for other weekly Event Types of Call In/Livestream.

Today's topic:  Leonard Bernstein

He was a universally admired conductor, composer, pianist, writer, teacher, television personality and humanitarian. His name was Leonard Bernstein, but many of his friends and colleagues knew him simply as Lenny – a man filled with a love of music and a need to share his joy with everyone. Generations of Americans were inspired by his passion and his knowledge, be they school-age kids in the '60s watching his “Young People's Concerts” on TV or scholars attending his Harvard Lectures in the '70s. In this Active Minds program we will sample his greatest hits (“West Side Story” in particular) and some lesser-known works.
