"...every once in a while we have feelings so deep and so special
that we have no words for them and that's where music is so marvelous;
because music names them for us,
only in notes instead of in words."
~ @LennyBernstein, 1958

And the powerful legacy of introducing--creating--music--something new, something beautiful, *for* the greater good -- continues by @nyphil through their Young People's Concerts and #project19!
Revisit the classical and new with @LennyBernstein: bernstein.classical.org/feat…
Also, and this is ⚠️super important⚠️: look at the Young People's Concerts. One is built around Project 19 and celebrates music composed by women. Another is called "Music as a Change Agent" and highlights "composers whose music impacted major social issues of the day."

“I know of only two ways to pray:
one is to say #thankyou and sing a song.
The other is to pray
that... our capacity to love...
may never be extinguished as long as we inhabit
this wonderful earth with one another."

January, 1985, "Hope in the Nuclear Age"

.@LennyBernstein stepped on stage -- and TV screens -- this week in 1958, asking deceptively simple questions that would change the way we think about music. In this first televised @nyphil Young People's Concert, he asks:
"What does music mean?"

This week in Jan. 1955(!), contralto Marian Anderson became the *1st* person of color to perform at @MetOpera. Here she is performing with @LennyBernstein and @nyphil in NYC in 1947.
