Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) was America’s towering musician of the 20th Century – conductor, composer, pianist, and pioneering music educator. His diverse compositions – including musical theatre classic West Side Story – live on in the repertoires of concert halls, Broadway stages, opera houses, nightclubs, and musical venues of all kinds.
