The Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts is an annual event that was started in 1952 by Leonard Bernstein who was both a composer and a Brandeis University faculty member.[1] It is sponsored by Brandeis University's Office of the Arts.[1]
Its founding in 1952 was held at the graduation of the first graduating class and included the world premier of Bernstein's opera Trouble in Tahiti.[2][3]
Its philosophy is that "the art of an era is a reflection of the society in which it is produced, and through creative endeavors the thoughts and expression which characterize each generation are revealed and transformed."[1]
