Exile To Hollywood

**Exile To Hollywood** invites you on an unforgettable journey through the hidden heart of Hollywood’s Golden Age, celebrating the extraordinary legacy of Jewish composers who fled persecution in Central and Eastern Europe to reshape the sound of cinema in the United States. This concert film traces the daring escape from pogroms and totalitarian regimes that led to a wave of visionaries—Max Steiner, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Franz Waxman, Miklós Rózsa, Bronisław Kaper, Irving Berlin, and Dimitri Tiomkin—each blurring the lines between European art music, American culture, and jazz. Their masterful blend of “the world of yesterday” with cutting‑edge modernity forged unforgettable film scores that defined the sonic landscape of Hollywood from the 1930s to the 1960s. Experience the dramatic stories of exile, artistic triumph, and the indelible influence these composers left on cinema, all brought to life through soaring orchestral performances and rich historical insight. Join us for a concert film that celebrates resilience, innovation, and the timeless magic of Hollywood’s soundtrack.
