Summary:Leonard Bernstein's "Young People's Concerts" with the New York Philharmonic stand among his greatest achievements. These televised programs introduced an entire generation to the joys of classical music. Bernstein conducted his first "Young People's Concert" on January 18, 1958, just two weeks after becoming Music Director of the New York Philharmonic. Such programs were already a Philharmonic tradition when Bernstein arrived, but he made them a centerpiece of his work, part of what he described as his "educational mission". Looking back on the concerts years later, he referred to them as being "among my favorite, most highly prized activities of my life". When he took a sabbatical season from the orchestra in 1964-65, he still came back to lead the "Young People's Concerts". He continued to lead these programs until 1972, even though he had stepped down as director of the Philharmonic in 1969. Bernstein led a total of fifty-three "Young People's Concerts" during those fourteen years, and covered a broad range of subjects. [www.amazon.com]
