The Leonard Bernstein Office

MusiciansUnited States11-50 Employees

The Leonard Bernstein Office (LBO) is small family-owned business which conducts music licensing, editing and publishing, and promotional activities relating to the lifework of Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990), the composer, conductor, educator, and humanitarian.

Since Bernstein’s death in 1990, the LBO has been co-owned and operated by his three children, Jamie Bernstein, Alexander Bernstein and Nina Bernstein Simmons.

The LBO is unique because our work product reaches millions of amateur and professional musicians and thousands of schools, universities, conservatories and libraries.  We operate in diverse areas of the music business, including education, musical theater, and classical music.

The LBO licenses Bernstein symphonies, operas, song cycles, chamber music, film scores, Broadway shows (including West Side Story, Candide and On The Town) and Mass.  The conducting legacy includes 500 recordings and filmed performances and the educational programs include the landmark Young People's Concerts television series with the New York Philharmonic.

We promote this catalog to performing-arts and educational institutions, record, film and television production companies, advertisers, and press.
