Program Notes

Celebrating the release of E4TT's fifth album, "Emigres & Exiles in Hollywood," a recording of favorites from our multi-year exploration of rarely heard chamber works and movie arrangements by composers who fled the Holocaust for LA in the 1930s and ‘40s. Many went on to win multiple Academy Awards and were instrumental in creating today's characteristic "Hollywood" sound.

Featuring selections from the new recording by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Hanns Eisler, Miklos Rozsa, Alexandre Tansman, Henryk Vars, and Erich Zeisl

PLUS "Cabaret Songs" (Brettl Lieder, 1901) by Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951):



AND music by Eugene Zador (The Devil Makes Three, The Stratton Story):

No one turned away at the door for lack of ability to pay.

The concert will also be available at no cost (donations welcome) via livestream: RSVP

E4TT (McGuinness, Monroe and Halbig) with guest coloratura soprano Chelsea Hollow
