When Stravinsky came to town

Studio 360, the weekly culture show on NPR hosted by Kurt Andersen, has a good historical segment today on the European composers and musicians who fled the Nazis and came to Los Angeles, led by the likes of Igor Stravinsky and Arnold Schoenberg. Once here they got work in Hollywood, many of them scoring films and playing in studio orchestras -- even for the Looney Tunes. The segment was produced by Jeff Lunden. Audio here
