Let’s take a look back at a few highlights of Bernstein’s long relationship with Juilliard as a conductor, 作曲家, 教育家, 和捐赠.

In 1947, the Juilliard 音乐al Foundation commissioned Bernstein’s 黄铜 音乐 (a signed holograph can be viewed in the Juilliard Library). Another highlight took place in 1959, when Bernstein conducted the New York Philharmonic, the Juilliard Chorus, 和 Metropolitan Opera stars baritone Leonard Warren 和 mezzo-soprano Risë Stevens (Juilliard Graduate School ’36, voice) in excerpts from 丑角 和 卡门 at the groundbreaking ceremony for 林肯中心. Three years later, when Philharmonic (now Geffen) Hall was inaugurated, Bernstein conducted the Phil, the Juilliard Chorus, 和 Schola Cantorum in Mahler’s Eighth Symphony 和 Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis. 1970年, he conducted the Phil with soloists from the Juilliard Opera Center in a concert version of Beethoven’s 费德里奥.
