This book is the first to examine the brilliant gathering of composers, conductors, and other musicians who fled Nazi Germany and arrived in the Los Angeles area.  Crawford examines the lives, creative work, and influences of 16 performers, 14 musicians (such as Igor Stravinsky), and an opera stage director, while emphasizing their individual voices and their impact on the film industry, music institutions, and as teachers of the next generation.
