'Hollywood and The Red Scare: The Deportation of Hanns Eisler'

From the event description:

Austrian composer Hanns Eisler settled in the United States in 1938 after fleeing National Socialism in Germany. He found success in Hollywood, writing numerous film scores, and continued to write songs and orchestral works. In 1947, as part of the first-wave of anti-Communist “witch-hunts” in Hollywood, he was interrogated by the HUAC (House Un-American Activities Committee) and blacklisted. Described by Republicans as “the Karl Marx of music,” Eisler left the United States in 1948 and eventually settled in East Germany, where he composed the national anthem for the GDR. This program of songs from the “Hollywood Songbook” by Eisler uses text from the his actual HUAC interrogations in order to shed light on one of the most divisive periods of the Cold War, and features performances by internationally acclaimed artists.
