‘Name the unnameable'

Leonard Bernstein in 1977

“Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.’’

— Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990), celebrated American composer and conductor. He was born in Lawrence, Mass., grew up in Boston and graduated from Harvard. Though based in New York, he often conducted at the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s summer venue — Tanglewood, in Lenox in the Massachusetts Berkshires.
