Sharyn Salsber Ezrin
Sharyn Salsberg Ezrin on ‘Leonard Bernstein’ (Facilitators: Paul Nash and Andris Rubenis)
From: Celebration of Song workshop.
Leonard Bernstein brought the world of music to life for me as I watched his Young People’s Concerts broadcast on CBS from 1958 to 1972. Not only were his stories about the music captivating, he also invited young promising singers, conductors and instrumentalists to join in these performances. During Bernstein’s tenure as the Music Director of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra he broke new ground in the American music establishment by inviting a young Louis Armstrong as a guest to perform blues music. Bernstein was a conductor, educator, composer, humanist and philanthropist who was ahead of his time and fearlessly stood up for what he believed was right. His most well-known musical theatre collaboration with Stephen Sondheim is ‘West Side Story’!
