Bernstein, Made for TV

Fishko Files | Jan 17, 2018

On January 18, 1958, the first Leonard Bernstein "Young People's Concert" was broadcast live on television. Through the 1960s, the programs took off and were seen in 40 countries, alongside American exports "The Flintstones" and "Bonanza."

WNYC's Sara Fishko considers Bernstein's TV-friendly presence, in this episode of Fishko Files.

Leonard Bernstein at 100 celebrates the centenary of Bernstein's birth with global events through 2019.
