Join us as we open A Bernstein Festival with a festive toast of prosecco and light refreshments, followed by a pre-show talk from OCM Music Director Filippo Ciabatti, who will share a conductor’s insight into Leonard Bernstein’s extraordinary life and legacy. The evening’s main feature is the acclaimed 1993 documentary Leonard Bernstein: The Gift of Music, created shortly after Bernstein’s passing by director Horant H. Honfeld, who spent two decades following the maestro. This intimate film offers a rare perspective, enriched with archival treasures—interviews, speeches, and excerpts from Bernstein’s landmark Omnibus television series—and was originally presented as part of PBS’s Great Performances.

6:30pm bar/door open. 7:00pm pre-show talk, 7:30 screening begins
