Seymore Bernstein ( new doc film hits)
on: March 24, 2015, 12:49:53 AM
So excited to see this and happy this was made.  Been a big admirer of his composing and playing for a while as I discovered him through his composition "insects"

Anoyone else been waiting for this too? I'm trying it find a way to watch this soon

Meet Seymour Bernstein: a virtuoso pianist, veteran New Yorker, and true original who gave up a successful concert career to teach music. In this wonderfully warm, witty, and intimate tribute from his friend, Ethan Hawke, Seymour shares unforgettable stories from his remarkable life and eye-opening words of wisdom, as well as insightful reflections on art, creativity, and the search for fulfillment. A “poignant guide to life” (Indiewire) and an engaging exploration on the dedication, perseverance, and fortitude essential to creating both art and a rewarding life, Seymour: An Introduction will leave audiences uplifted and inspired.

Fun to play as well (mostly - I seem to recall one of the pieces in Birds II requiring opening the lid and tinkering). I should add that Birds comes in two parts - Birds and Birds II.
