Schoenberg in Hollywood: The Making of a Modern Opera

Copresented with the UCLA Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience and the Schoenberg at 150 Festival

Celebrating Arnold Schoenberg's 150th birthday, join composer Tod Machover as he discusses his innovative new opera Schoenberg in Hollywood with conductor Neal Stulberg, director Karole Armitage, and Arnold Schoenberg’s son, Larry Schoenberg, moderated by UCLA Musicology Professor Joy Calico. The opera, making its West Coast premiere at the UCLA Nimoy Theater later that evening, explores the fascinating journey of the Austrian-born composer during his time in Los Angeles, where he navigated the tension between his artistic vision and Hollywood's cinematic allure.

This panel discussion at the Hammer is free and open to the public on a first come, first served basis. For tickets and more information about the Schoenberg in Hollywood performance at the Nimoy, visit schoolofmusic.ucla.edu.
