Classical music tributes

F

Conductor Zubin Mehta and Director William Fertik

Their 1973 short documentary "The Bolero," a behind-the-scenes look at the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra in rehearsal for a performance of Ravel's "Bolero," was an epiphany to me as a college junior with little education in classical music.

Miriam Frank

My mother, Miriam Frank, took me to Boston Symphony and Boston Pops concerts from my infancy onward. I remember her playing Haydn and Beethoven on her mother's old piano; the same piano that a young Lenny Bernstein in Sharon, Mass. would come over to play because his father would not let him learn to play at home. Despite all the years, the losses, the tribulations and the triumphs in our lives, there remains for us both that which we shared from the time I was still in the baby carriage at the band shell by the Charles River: the music matters to us both and brings us together as few other things can.
