ECLECTIC SALON: MUSIC/WORDS

Music/Words is an interdisciplinary live performance series exploring connections between poetry and music by presenting collaborations between exciting solo musicians and acclaimed contemporary poets in the form of a live recital/reading.
There are four concerts each season, in a variety of venues. In 2015 one of them will be presented at Villa Aurora featuring the poetry of Bertolt Brecht (among them the Hollywood Elegies) and music for piano by exiled composers, who made their home in Los Angeles and Hollywood.
