You may or may not know that Leonard Bernstein (Aug. 25, 1918 - Oct. 14, 1990) was the first American-born leader of an American orchestra, but what you should know is that he created a legacy for American music that will never be forgotten. His composing created classics like Broadway's West Side Story. Below is Bernstein conducting another great piece of his, Candide Overture.
