matthew culloton, artistic director shaping a new choral tradition An American Icon LEONARD BERNSTEIN (1918-1990)

"Few composers capture their time and become the iconic voice of their age. Leonard Bernstein found his "voice" in the early 1940s and projected the sound of urban and urbane America from the period of World War II to the anti-war movements of the 1970s and the restoration of freedom in Europe, with the fall of the Berlin Wall and Soviet communism. Everywhere one hears his internal struggle to sound inevitable as the tumultuous era of the second half of the 20th century unfolded itself. He has left us an aural image of his time and place and, at the same time, an eternal voice of humanity." – John Mauceri

“Bernstein was a thinker, teacher, author, television star, provocateur, humanitarian and he was my hero. As with all true mentors, Bernstein taught me much more than a craft. He showed me–and the world–the enormous power of music and how important it is to share it with as much of humanity as is possible. He showed us that classical music is a powerful force that can transform lives as well as inspire and move people and he lived by those principles.” – Marin Alsop Leonard Bernstein: MAKE OUR GARDEN GROW Bernstein: Make Our Garden Grow Matthew Culloton, Artistic Director
