Award-winning SF chamber group Ensemble for These Times (E4TT) has released their fifth recording, “Émigrés & Exiles in Hollywood” via Centaur Records (CRC 4111). The album is the result of a multi-year exploration via the group’s “Jewish Music & Poetry Project (JMPP), the digital EP features music by many of the talented émigré composers who fled a war-torn Europe during World War II for Los Angeles, going on to write film noir and other movie scores and establish the “Hollywood” style that we hear in the music of John Williams and so many other films today, as well as landing in academia and shaping the next generations of American composers. Featuring chamber music, arrangements, and songs by eight composers—Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Miklós Rózsa, both of whom went on to win Academy Awards, Hanns Eisler, Bronislaw Kaper, Arnold Schoenberg, Alexandre Tansman, Henryk Vars, and Eric Zeisl—and is performed by soprano Nanette McGuinness, cellist Abigail Monroe, and pianist Margaret Halbig. 

Ensemble for These Times Is Proud to Launch the Second Season of “For Good Measure”  A Podcast with BIPOC, Women, and LGBTQIA Creative Artists.      "CLICK HERE FOR PODCAST"
