This horrific incident joins Pittsburgh, Quebec, and Charlottesville in a seemingly endless list of extremist brutality in places of worship. The sad truth is that our world has long been fragmented by faith-based struggle. Countless wars have been fought over religious dominance and perceived privilege. People have been forced to accept a conquering society’s belief system—or be killed. Religion justifying violence is a dreadful contradiction. Is peaceful faith-diversity possible? Considering how I wanted to direct Mass, first produced in 1971, I reflected on how much has changed in our society since then. The internet has opened us up to the immediacy of information. Social media has enabled us to share images in real time. Today, we have become our own “news reporters,” and with that comes consequences. We must sort fact from fiction amidst the daily deluge of information. What is true? What is twisted? What do we ultimately believe? I want this production to allow us to fully and safely ask questions: “What do I believe in and stand for? What offends me, and what would I tolerate?” Most of us think we know those answers, but when confronted with conflict, questions, or force, in what would we intervene? To bring these questions into our 2019 context, I shaped this production with the addition of a multifaith component. Rather than view this as a mass in the traditional sense of the word, consider it a religious gathering. Let’s ask ourselves, “In a world of immediate global information and interconnection, how do we allow space for a variety of viewpoints and faiths to coexist? What does living in harmonious diversity really mean?” Let these questions be the guide for this experience as you watch Mass—a search for faith in a chaotic world. Program Notes by Bret McCandless Ph.D. Musicology Candidate Leonard Bernstein made his mark as a conductor, composer, educator, and celebrity, and it is difficult to honor him in all of those areas for his centenary through a single performance. Mass might be the most appropriate way to honor and remember Bernstein as a musician who tried to do it all: with its musical eclecticism, political undertones, commissioning for a major American cultural event, and overall immensity, perhaps a performance

    TuneUp! TuneUSaturday, October 18th, 2008 p! New York Philharmonic Young People’s Concert® elcome to a new season of Young People’s Concerts! Throughout history, there have been special times when music flowered in specific cities—Capitals of Music—that for a while W became the center of the musical world. Much of the music we know today comes from these times and places. But how did these great flowerings of music happen? That’s what we’ll find out this year as we discover the distinctive sounds of four of these Capitals. And where better to start than right here in New York? After the Second World War, our city became a cultural capital of the world. Leonard Bernstein—who became Music Director of the New York Philharmonic 50 years ago this fall—defined music in New York in his roles as composer, conductor, and teacher. So what was it like in New York back then? Let’s find out from a child of that time—Leonard Bernstein’s BERNSTEIN’S NEW YORK daughter Jamie! THE PROGRAM: BERNSTEIN “The Great Lover” from On the Town COPLAND “Skyline” from Music for a Great City (excerpt) GERSHWIN “I Got Rhythm” from Girl Crazy BERNSTEIN “America” from West Side Story Suite No. 2 COPLAND Fanfare for the Common Man Jamie Bernstein, host BERNSTEIN On the Waterfront Symphonic Suite (excerpt) Delta David Gier, conductor SEBASTIAN CURRIER “quickchange” from Microsymph Tom Dulack, scriptwriter and director BERNSTEIN Overture to Candide 1 2 3 5 4 CAN YOU IDENTIFY EVERYTHING IN AND AROUND LEONARD BERNSTEIN’S NEW YORK STUDIO?

Lenny, as I knew him, the great musician, the 20th century giant with whom, in 1986, I conceived the Academy, was one of the first people with whom I engaged in dialogue about “this thing,” as he called it, just before proposing that we call our “thing” the Academy for the Love of Learning. “Why that name?”, I asked – and he said: “because you believe that if we truly open ourselves to learning, it will liberate us and bring us home, individually and collectively. So, the name is perfect, because the acronym is ALL!” I resisted it at first, but soon came to realize that the name indeed was perfect. This and other prescient dialogues have helped us get to where we are today – a thriving, innovative organization.

  • The "Stars for Freedom" Rally

    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Selma-to-Montgomery National Historic Trail The "Stars for Freedom" Rally March 24,1965 The "March to Montgomery" held the promise of fulfilling the hopes of many Americans who desired to witness the reality of freedom and liberty for all citizens. It was a movement which drew many luminaries of American society, including internationally-known performers and artists. In a drenching rain, on the fourth day, March 24th, carloads and busloads of participants joined the march as U.S. Highway 80 widened to four lanes, thus allowing a greater volume of participants than the court- imposed 300-person limitation when the roadway was narrower. There were many well-known celebrities among the more than 25,000 persons camped on the 36-acre grounds of the City of St. Jude, a Catholic social services complex which included a school, hospital, and other service facilities, located within the Washington Park neighborhood. This fourth campsite, situated on a rain-soaked playing field, held a flatbed trailer that served as a stage and a host of famous participants that provided the scene for an inspirational performance enjoyed by thousands on the dampened grounds. The event was organized and coordinated by the internationally acclaimed activist and screen star Harry Belafonte, on the evening of March 24, 1965. The night "the Stars" came out in Alabama Mr. Belafonte had been an acquaintance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. since 1956. He later raised thousands of dollars in funding support for the Freedom Riders and to bailout many protesters incarcerated during the era, including Dr.
