The inspiring story of violin virtuoso Isaac Stern and his mission to save the beloved Carnegie Hall from demolition.
When Carnegie Hall first opened its doors in 1891, no one could have predicted its incredible success. With talented artists like Duke Ellington and Albert Einstein gracing its stage, the hall quickly became a place where all people—no matter their skin color, religion, or social status—could come together under one roof to be entertained.
People like Isaac Stern. The son of Jewish immigrants who fled war-torn Ukraine for America to escape the Holocaust, Isaac was a talented violinist whose dream of one day performing on Carnegie Hall's legendary stage came true, many times over. So when a real estate tycoon sets out to demolish Carnegie Hall, Isaac knew something had to be done to preserve decades of hopes, dreams, and inclusivity.
Author Megan Hoyt and illustrator Katie Hickey tell the true story of one man’s fight to save a historical landmark whose timeless symbol of equality will forever stand the test of time.

L’émission The Repair Shop a un grand succès en Angleterre
Cette série télévisée née sur la chaîne britannique BBC One montre des artisans «à l’ancienne» restaurer avec patience et minutie des antiquités empoussiérées et des souvenirs de famille malmenés par les années.
Tout y passe : une poupée cinquantenaire à la forte valeur sentimentale, la trompette muette du grand-père, un vieux coffre percé, alouette.
Même le nouveau roi Charles III s’y est pointé le bout du nez l’automne dernier pour offrir une cure de jouvence à une horloge et à un vase appartenant à la famille royale.
Idem pour la grande actrice Judi Dench, qui tenait à réentendre le tic-tac d’une montre de poche d’antan.
