2Leonard Bernstein at 100:
A Celebration!
What would Lenny make
of all the fuss
over his 100th birthday?
A note from George Hanson, Sunriver Music Festival
Artistic Director & Conductor
Leonard Bernst
First of all, we NEVER called him Lenny! A Celebr
Leonard Bernstein is arguably the single most influential
American musician of the Twentieth Century. Sunriver Music
Festival’s celebration of the 100th anniversary of his birth is one of
many occurring throughout the world in 2018.
Those of us fortunate enough to have known and worked
with him recall a complex personality, a profound artistic and
intellectual talent, and a gift for knowing and loving those
around him. His charisma could be
overwhelming, if not for his equally
large gift of charm.
Bernstein succeeded where
others—even Gershwin—failed:
He truly broke down the barriers
between popular music and the
classical world. He was fond of
saying, “There are only two kinds of
music: Good, and Bad!”
George Hanson, Conductor & The songs of West Side Story
Artistic Director
and On the Town remain some
of the best, and best known, of any in the American lexicon;
his symphonic works challenge; his educational outreach was
unsurpassed; his conducting was truly inspired, a conduit to the
composer’s intent. No American professional musician over the age
of 50 today was untouched by his passion and love for our art.
He transformed my own view of music making. For 35 years
I have strived to live up to his example.
What would Bernstein make of all the fuss? Certainly he
would be amused. He would also be gratified that his work had
the impact he desired: several generations of musicians striving
for greatness, not so much for themselves but for the sake of the
composers’ intent.
This season’s celebration is our way of thanking him!
