Bernstein at Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival

Leonard Bernstein at Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival - Teaching, Performing, Lectures and Master Course.

The music-special, LEONARD BERNSTEIN IN SALZAU, offers a lively and fascinating insider’s look at the professional world of young conductors and orchestral musicians in three one-hour-long programmes. Yet at the same time, it also portrays one of the most eminent conductors of our time in a vividly personal manner: Leonard Bernstein, at work with young musicians - challenging them, but also encouraging and reassuring them.

“If it is true that a work of art is something designed with many facets and perspectives, then this three-part music-special is a work of art.” (FAZ).

PART I
The Birth of an Orchestra

PART II
Orchestral Work with the Rite of the Spring

“l am trying to do something for Europe which Europe actually did for me: through Sergei Koussevitzky, Dmitri Mitropoulos, Fritz Reiner, Bruno Walter, and all the other great people who, either willingly or unwillingly came over from the old country, specifically from Germany. I had promised myself to found another Tanglewood here.” (Leonard Bernstein)
