Celebrate a defining moment in American music history with this 1988 commemorative publication marking the 45th anniversary of Leonard Bernstein’s debut as conductor of the New York Philharmonic.
The red-and-gold cover identifies the occasion as Carnegie Hall, November 14, 1988—45 years after Bernstein’s celebrated 1943 appearance when he stepped in for an ill Bruno Walter. Inside are illustrated, scrapbook-style pages featuring reproductions of historical photographs, concert materials, and newspaper coverage, including a New York Times article about Bernstein’s debut.
This is a 1988 anniversary publication, not an original 1943 concert program. Printed signatures or historical images appearing in the publication should not be mistaken for an authenticated autograph.
Used – Good Condition (See Images). The red cover has light scuffing, rubbing, and edge/corner wear. Please see the Seller’s Notes above for condition details. The photographs show the actual item you will receive, so please look through all the images to see its contents and condition for yourself.
A distinctive find for collectors of Leonard Bernstein, New York Philharmonic, Carnegie Hall, classical music history, and concert programs.
