MEMORIAL

Memorial showing a deep relationship
between a great musician and Nidom

In 1990, Leonard Bernstein, one of greatest musicians of the 20th century,

composed a gratitude song about Nidom, a place he said had “brought me alive.”
The lyrics of the melody include the line “Nidom means peace and freedom!”
The maestro did not revisit Nidom, but the deep relationship has been passed on.

Shuichi Ishikawa, then-president of Nidom, (left)
and Mr. Bernstein (right) were linked in friendship.
The score says “to be continued,”
and was written by the hand of Bernstein.
