A unique performance of classical and jazz music by leading Jewish European composers, Weinberg, Korngold, Toch, Rózsa, Waxman and Castelnuovo-Tedesco, all of whom escaped the Holocaust.

This concert is themed resilience and reinvention, as these composers reinvented themselves in Hollywood, where they wrote the music for some of the greatest blockbusters, and influenced film music forever.

Performers include NZSM staff Inbal Megiddo, Jian Liu, Jenny Wollerman, Martin Riseley, the New Zealand String Quartet, David Barnard & Dave Wilson, artist teacher Callum Allardice and alumni Phoebe Johnson and Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa.
