Bernstein From Berlin on KCET: KCET Channel 28 will broadcast Leonard Bernstein’s Christmas Day concert in East Berlin at 8 p.m. The international telecast will feature Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, performed in East Berlin by a host of international musicians under the direction of Bernstein. Musicians from East and West Germany, Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union and the United States will participate in the concert. In all, Bernstein will conduct two “Freedom Concerts” on both sides of the Berlin Wall in celebration of recent events in Germany. PBS will air the second concert to be played Christmas morning in East Berlin at the Schauspielhaus, a concert hall restored after being destroyed during World War II. Because of the early hour of the concert, PBS will tape-delay the broadcast.
