A Private Tour of the Fran & Ray
Stark Outdoor Sculpture Collection at the Getty Center
with Art Historian Jeremy Glatstein
June 19, 2009, 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
A major transformation of the magnificent Getty
Center took place with the installation of 28
contemporary outdoor sculptures donated to the Getty
from the collection of film producer Ray Stark and
his wife Fran. The collection includes such 20th
century luminaries as Henry Moore, Alberto
Giacometti, Aristide Maillol, Barbara Hepworth, Roy
Lichtenstein and George Rickey. The collection is
located throughout the Getty Center site and the
ingenuity of the installation is a significant part
of the pleasure of the art experience. Join art historian Jeremy Glatstein
for an in-depth tour of the Stark collection. We
will discuss the works of art, their installation
and the impact they have on the Getty environment as
well as what the collection says about the Starks as
collectors. This tour also provides a wonderful
opportunity to dialogue with Eli Broad's collection
at LACMA's Broad Contemporary Art - a collection
that Jeremy will tour on June 26. (See below.)

Returns to Inside the Story to Celebrate Leonard
Bernstein's 90th!
Postponed, Watch for fall date!
Pasadena Conservatory of Music, 111 No. Hill Ave.,
Pasadena
Fresh from the celebration of Los Angeles' new
"Conductor Laureate," Esa-Pekka Salonen, Inside the
Story salutes another towering figure in 20th
century music. Composer, conductor and educator
Leonard Bernstein would have turned 90 this year.
Bernstein was Music Director of the NY Phil from
1958 to 1969 and Laureate Conductor from 1969 to
1990. But his achievements hardly stopped there.
Leonard Bernstein's genius was rooted in his
affinity for a host of musical genres and styles far
beyond the classical realm, including jazz, the
American songbook, and world music. If that were not
enough, Bernstein introduced an entire generation to
classical music through his Young People's Concerts.
Upon Bernstein's death in 1990, composer Ned Rorem
aptly summed up Bernstein's far-reaching talents:
"Lenny led four lives in one, so he was not 72 [when
he died], but 288."
Join composer and CSUN professor emeritus Daniel
Kessner, Ph.D in a look at Leonard Bernstein's
valuable contributions to the world as conductor,
composer and educator. A wonderful way to say "Happy
Birthday, Lenny!" Dr. Kessner's program on Salonen
was a popular hit, enroll early in what will be a
great encore.
