Dear Friends,

I am pleased to invite you to our major celebration of 20th-century icon Leonard Bernstein. We have planned an exciting and inspiring array of concerts, featuring works both intimate and grand by this leading American composer. Our ����ֱ�� Symphony will be joined by special guests Jamie Bernstein, author of the newly released "Famous Father Girl: A Memoir of Growing Up Bernstein," and Glenn Dicterow, former concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic. Harvard Professor and Leonard Bernstein Scholar-in-Residence with the New York Philharmonic Carol Oja will give a keynote address and speak with guests of our Entrepreneurship Center for Music. Our combined choirs will perform Bernstein’s "Chichester Psalms," and our Eklund Opera Program's production of "West Side Story" will be preceded by a behind-the-scenes look at "West Side Story” the film, hosted by Ernesto Acevedo-Muñoz, head of  ����ֱ�� Cinema Studies & Moving Image Arts. Our bands will program Bernstein works, and our faculty will perform chamber music that is sometimes poignant, sometimes fun and always moving. ����ֱ�� on the Weekend will examine Bernstein the educator, ����ֱ�� Libraries will create a special display in the Music Library and Jewish Studies in collaboration with the College of Music will explore the mythology behind Bernstein’s ballet "The Dybbuk." We hope to fulfill Bernstein’s mission to bring people together through music.    

Please join us!
