About the Film:

Admission is Free, by registration (click below).
“String Trio, Los Angeles 1946” is a film about the important and influential 20th century composer and teacher Arnold Schoenberg. In August of 1946, Schoenberg's heart stopped beating. While recuperating, he composed a 19-minute trio for violin, viola, and cello – music in which he attempted to portray his close brush with death. It is a piece widely regarded today as a masterpiece of the 20th century repertoire.
The documentary looks back at Schoenberg's 1933 departure from Nazi Germany, his career, and the composer's years in Los Angeles. In the film Gertrud and Arnold Schoenberg's three children, Nuria, Ronald, and Lawrence comment about their memories of their father. The film also includes a discussion by the well-known director Peter Sellars and violist Kim Kashkashian about the "String Trio, " and concludes with a complete performance of the String Trio, Op. 45, filmed at Schoenberg's Los Angeles home, and performed by Movses Pogossian, violin Kim Kashkashian, viola Rohan de Saram, cello.
