Musicologist Dorothy Lamb Crawford looks closely at the lives, creative work, and influence of sixteen performers, fourteen composers, and one opera stage director, who joined this immense migration beginning in the 1930's. Some in this group were famous when they fled Europe, others would gain recognition in the young musical culture of Los Angeles, and still others struggled to establish themselves in an environment often resistant to musical innovation. Emphasizing individual voices, Crawford presents short portraits of Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schoenberg, and the other musicians while also considering their influence as a group-in the film industry, in music institutions in and around Los Angeles, and as teachers who trained the next generation. The book reveals a uniquely vibrant era when Southern California became a hub of unprecedented musical talent. 606 $aMusicians$zCalifornia, Southern 606 $aJewish refugees$zCalifornia, Southern 606 $aJews, German$zCalifornia, Southern 606 $aExiles$zUnited States 607 $aCalifornia, Southern$xEmigration and immigration 615 0$aMusicians 615 0$aJewish refugees 615 0$aJews, German 615 0$aExiles 676 $a780.9794/9 700 $aCrawford$b Dorothy L$0185604 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820177203321 996 $aA windfall of musicians$93947953 997 $aUNINA
