Franz Waxman: Between Film Music and the Concert Hall

Ingeborg Zechner’s monograph on Waxman, who “packed numerous careers into his short life” – he was a jazz musician, arranger, film composer, concert organiser and, as a composer and conductor, dabbled in opera. However, it is his film scores that have endured, not only in countless classics that are shown time and again, but also in the form of ‘soundtrack albums’ that remained popular for a long time.

“The myth of OPER! Anything but high culture?”

44 minutes, 4 questions, four times a year: interesting guests and thought-provoking questions on inclusion and diversity in the arts and culture, presented in an interview format.
