Musicians in Exile

PROGRAM



Prior to each live performance, a selection or sample of a film featuring the score will be presented for each composer. I will provide commentary on the connection between the film scores and concert music and brief discussion of the history and events these composers faced. There will be time for a Q&A session with the audience at the end of the program.
