MUSE/IQUE’s Welcome to the Dream Factory
The performance, at the historic Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, is a musical journey through Hollywood’s first Golden Age, when many Jewish immigrants, including artists, fled persecution in Europe and came to Los Angeles in the 1930s and 1940s. They helped transform Hollywood into the entertainment capital of the world and a beacon of opportunity, influencing timeless films including Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, and King Kong. This triumphant performance features GRAMMY-winning violinist Anne Akiko Meyers, the vocals of Sy Smith, and the majestic 50-piece MUSE/IQUE Orchestra, all led by Artistic and Music Director Rachael Worby.
