Jamie Bernstein's hourlong presentation — Leonard Bernstein: Citizen Artist — began as a means of engaging and informing young musicians about her father's life and work, so that they may look to him as a role model and inspiration in their own artistic efforts. Due to popular demand, Jamie's talk has evolved into a presentation for adults of all ages, kids of all ages, musical newbies, and musical cognoscenti.
Jamie divides Leonard Bernstein’s life into four main categories: conductor, composer, educator, and activist-humanitarian. The talk includes many photos and video clips, and leaves time at the end for Q&A.
