Performed by the Zemel Choir at St. Johns Smith Square

Leonard Bernstein wrote his Mass at the request of Jacqueline Onassis, for the opening of the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts in Washington. It is a huge work, almost an hour and three-quarters long, that with bewildering range of musical styles. In this recording, Bernstein s protege Marin Alsop, music director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, shows convincingly that she may be the best interpreter of his music alive today. This recording also features Jubilant Sykes, the Morgan State University Choir and the Peabody Children s Chorus.

Jeffrey has a delightful conversation with David Christel, author, former dancer and therapist who danced professionally in New York for 14 years. David has performed all over the world, the Kennedy Center, appeared on PBS Great Performances twice, and taught at major dance schools everywhere with experiences with The New York City Ballet, Michael Baryshnikov, Leonard Bernstein, Martha Graham, May O’Donnell and many others. Retiring from the dance world in 1986 at the Santa Fe Opera House, David immediately moved into computers becoming an expert in computer-based training and winning a national award for CBT project design in 1992. David has led projects that included NASA’s International Space Station, Top Gun School, NYNEX, Northern Telecom, American Airlines, and Halliburton. For 18 years, David worked with Persons With AIDS in a therapeutic capacity and in 1988 founded the AIDS Response Holistic Health Program in San Diego, now the largest program of its kind in the country. He currently ghost writes books and has 7 books of his own in progress. He is President of the Santa Fe Rape Crisis and Trauma Treatment Center Board and Endowment Fund Chair. David speaks about his experiences in world of dance in New York and how he overcame paralysis against all the predictions of the doctors who consulted him. It is a fascinating recounting of a miraculous experience and what is possible when one focuses with determination and discipline to overcome even the most impossible odds.

Jeffrey has a fascinating conversation with Aaron Stern, Founder, Executive Director and Core Faculty of the Academy For the Love of Learning in Santa Fe. As designer of the core curriculum at the Academy, Aaron is also a composer, performer, educator and former dean of the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago. Aaron consults with educational, arts, spiritual and social-change organizations and communities, around the world and is also trained and certified as a transpersonal therapist. A brainchild of a special relationship that Aaron had with the late musical genius Leonard Bernstein, the Academy for the Love of Learning draws on a wide, multidisciplinary spectrum of resources: educational philosophy and practice, the arts, transpersonal studies, contemplative traditions, earth-based wisdom, body-centered practices, psychotherapy, organizational consulting, and the wisdom distilled from personal experience. The scholar in residence at the Academy is American priest and theological exponent of Creation Spirituality Matthew Fox. Creation Spirituality is a movement grounded in the mystical philosophies of medieval visionaries Hildegard of Bingen, Thomas Aquinas, Meister Eckhart and Nicholas of Cusa. Author of twenty-eight books on philosophy, religion, and spirituality, Matthew Fox’s most recent book, The A.W.E. Project: Reinventing Education, Reinventing the Human has led him into an increased engagement with issues impacting the education of children, something very dear to the heart of The Academy and Aaron Sterns vision. In Aaron’s and the Academy’s view, who we are as human beings is indicated by the depth of our openness to life, our engagement with our process of learning, and our self-awareness and capacity to be as fully awake as imaginable with one another. because of this viewpoint, the Academy is strongly experiential and calls forth a high degree of self-reflection, both individual and collective. This ground of deepening self-awareness provides the stability and freedom from which right action can grow. I think you will find my conversation with Aaron warm, stimulating and uplifting because he is dedicated to living a life focused on the highest aspects of the human experience and bringing out the best in others so that they too can really enjoy the love of learning that is the deepest of human birthright’s.
