TCM celebrates the 100th anniversary of a musical legend with three nights of programming devoted to some of Leonard Bernstein's most significant work as composer, conductor and pianist. Each evening provides insight into the extensive accomplishments of the man described by The New York Times as "Music's Monarch." Our tribute begins with a night of films showcasing Bernstein's scores, and succeeding nights are devoted to his televised appearances with the New York Philharmonic's Young People's Concerts and the series Omnibus.

(5,810 posts)He was such a fan of Bernstein and frequently referred to him as Lenny-baby. My dad died in 1967 at age 51 - far too soon. Even after all these years I still remember him watching concerts on TV with Lenny conducting. It was not unusual to see him sitting in his favorite chair with tears in his eyes. He just loved the music and respected the man that much!
