IIIIIIIIIUndoubtedly one of the most controversial

figures the world of music has ever produced,

ARNOLD SCHOENBERGwill be examined and

honored by the Los Angeles Philharmonic on the

fiftieth anniversary of his death, through a prism of

concerts, events, discussions, and seminars held

throughout Los Angeles from October through March.

Join us for the Schoenberg Prism.

IIIIIII“I came from the one country into

another country where neither dust nor better food is rationed and where I am allowed to go on my feet, where my

head can be erect, where kindness and cheerfulness is dominating and where to live is a joy, where to be an expatriated of another country is the grace of God.

I was driven into the paradise!” — Arnold Schoenberg

IIIIIII“We need to be inspired by the intense utopian emotionalism of

Schoenberg’s modernism and by his unsentimental and subtle imagination andvision — communicated through music — of future cultural and human possibilities.”

— Leon Botstein, president of Bard College and music director of the American Symphony Orchestra
