Guest performance Bratislava

The dream factory of Hollywood was an important refuge for many prominent composers during the fascist regimes in Europe. Erich Wolfgang Korngold, among others, quickly made a name for himself in the new genre of film music—he lived the "American Dream" under palm trees in LA. The WDR Funkhausorchester presents music by the exile and music by his American colleagues Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, and George Gershwin.
