Synopsis by Matthew Tobey
Perhaps best-known for the musical West Side Story, composer Leonard Bernstein was one of the most accomplished and influential musicians of the 20th century. For fifteen years, beginning in 1958, Bernstein attempted to turn the youth of America on to music through a series of televised performances called Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts. This episode features Bernstein conducting selections from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts: Two Ballet Birds originally aired on September 14, 1969.
