Thomas Mann & Modern Music in L.A.
Information
Los Angeles has a rich cultural history and has been the home to many of the world’s greatest artists for over a hundred years. Especially during the second World War, many artists came to Los Angeles in exile and formed close connections with Thomas Mann, including Arnold Schoenberg, Ernst Toch, and Hanns Eisler. The Thomas Mann House is happy to share a program in partnership with the Kaleidoscope Chamber Orchestra that celebrates the rich history of music from composers connected to Thomas Mann and Los Angeles, from the past and present.
In addition to the performance, KUSC Radio host Rich Capparela will be hosting a pre concert discussion about
Thomas Mann, the music from our program, and connections to contemporary issues of politics, society, and culture.
