This program explores political leadership and debate, starting with music by Ethel Smyth, a prominent women’s rights campaigner. Glenn Dicterow, long-time concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic and mentor of our concertmaster Mateusz Wolski, performed Serenade many times with Bernstein himself conducting.
