“The Jewishness of Leonard Bernstein” with Barry Seldes

Barry Seldes, author of "Leonard Bernstein: The Political Life of an American Musician," will speak on "The Jewishness of Leonard Bernstein" in a conversation hosted by New York's West End Synagogue. Seldes contends that Bernstein was very much aware of his Jewish ethnic and cultural heritage. How he gave expression to his Jewishness through his compositions for concert hall, Broadway stage, and orchestral conducting will be Seldes' focus.
