Leonard Bernstein at The MacDowell Colony, 1962.
Leonard Bernstein (1918–1990) was already famous when he first stayed at The MacDowell Colony in 1962. He returned in 1970 and 1972. “All of those times I was writing works which had, at least in intent, a vastness, which were dealing with subjects of astronomical if not mystical and astrological dimension,” Bernstein reminisced in 1987. “This vastness is inherent somehow in this place.”
