This flyer documents Henry Tenenbaum serving as Guest Host for the National Symphony Orchestra's Memorial Day concert on the West Lawn of the US Capitol, May 26, 1980. The concert featured Aaron Copland as Guest Conductor — one of America's most celebrated composers — conducting his own works. This establishes Henry's public profile in Washington DC extended well beyond television news into major cultural events. The NSO's Music Director at the time was Mstislav Rostropovich.
