Author George Plimpton performs with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic. Invited by Maestra Leonard Bernstein, Plimpton joins the orchestra for a two-week tour witch is recorded every step of the way.
George Plimpton finds out how his colleagues chose their instruments, learns of the joys and frustrations and tensions they experience and gathers anecdotes about conductors they have worked under.
NOTE:
Another venture for George Plimpton reporting his experiences in the world of processionals and artists such as when he pitched to Willie Mays and quarterbacked for the Detroit Lions.
