"...every once in a while we have feelings so deep and so special
that we have no words for them and that's where music is so marvelous;
because music names them for us,
only in notes instead of in words."
~ @LennyBernstein, 1958

And the powerful legacy of introducing--creating--music--something new, something beautiful, *for* the greater good -- continues by @nyphil through their Young People's Concerts and #project19!

Revisit the classical and new with @LennyBernstein: https://t.co/D3FFzqq3Jo

[Brian Lauritzen: Bluesky + Threads @brianlauritzen @lauritzen_brian]

Also, and this is ⚠️super important⚠️: look at the Young People's Concerts. One is built around Project 19 and celebrates music composed by women. Another is called "Music as a Change Agent" and highlights "composers whose music impacted major social issues of the day."

[Leonard Bernstein @LennyBernstein]

The original cast recording of Bernstein's MASS was one of 25 albums to be inducted into the @RecordingAcad / GRAMMY Hall of Fame, which includes 1,088 recordings, which are commemorated at the @GrammyMuseum in downtown Los Angeles. #Bernsteinat100 https://t.co/GfdDHWhbUx

“I know of only two ways to pray:
one is to say #thankyou and sing a song.

The other is to pray
that... our capacity to love...
may never be extinguished as long as we inhabit
this wonderful earth with one another."

.@LennyBernstein stepped on stage -- and TV screens -- this week in 1958, asking deceptively simple questions that would change the way we think about music. In this first televised @nyphil Young People's Concert, he asks:

"What does music mean?"

This week in Jan. 1955(!), contralto Marian Anderson became the *1st* person of color to perform at @MetOpera. Here she is performing with @LennyBernstein and @nyphil in NYC in 1947.
