Leonard Bernstein embraced a remarkable range of roles in his career, including composer, conductor, pianist, educator, multimedia pioneer, and engaged citizen. This course presents him as one of our towering cultural figures. We will examine the intersections among Bernstein’s musical activities, his personal and intellectual life, and their shifting political and social contexts. We will focus on Bernstein’s multifaceted contributions to American classical music; his connections with politics; his advocacy of Gustav Mahler; his musical West Side Story; and his musical and cultural legacy.
