Does a career in Hollywood make a career in the concert hall impossible? For many composers, Hollywood has provided a platform that the concert hall has not. From the Jewish refugee composers of the 1930s to the trailblazing Black composers of today, the relationship between the concert hall and the silver screen is a rich and fascinating one.

Works include Michael Abels’s playful Delights and Dances, Bernard Herrmann’s spine-chilling Psycho (A Narrative for String Orchestra) and Leonard Bernstein’s energetic Serenade after Plato’s Symposium, performed by Tai Murray.
