The Brooklyn Music School introduced the Dr. Leon Gunther Legacy Award this year at our New heartBEATS Fundraising Gala. Dr. Leon Gunther is a former Brooklyn Music School student, the author of The Physics of Music and Color: Sound and Light, and a Tufts University physics professor emeritus. Dr. Gunther attended the Brooklyn Music School nearly seventy years ago at the age of eight. Below he describes BMS's impact as an institution as a young child.

This year, we honor Dr. Leon Gunther for inspiring the Brooklyn Music School community. The Legacy Award aims to recognize members of the Brooklyn Music School community who go above and beyond to commit themselves to the BMS mission.

This year’s recipient is Hope Kelly. Thank you Hope for all that you do and thank you Dr. Gunter for your legacy and dedication toward our community!
