Leonard Bernstein created some of the most iconic music of the 20th Century. His music featured an incredible breadth of genres—from classical pieces to Broadway show tunes. Experienced lifelong learning instructor Owen Cantor will help students deepen their knowledge of this exciting musical master. The course will examine Bernstein’s (1) pioneering teaching on early television; (2) Broadway masterpieces, including “West Side Story”; (3) triumphant conducting career and stunning worldwide orchestral leadership; and (4) three moving and original symphonies: “Jeremiah,” “The Age of Anxiety,” and “Kaddish.”  The world is better because of this gifted human being’s legacy.
