L.A. Fire Relief Benefit Concert Staged by Film Composers to Benefit Musicians Who’ve Lost Their Homes


Seven top film, TV and game composers presented a concert of their works as a benefit for L.A. musicians who lost their homes in recent wildfires.

Seven top film, TV and game composers presented a concert of their works Saturday night in West Los Angeles as a benefit for musicians whose homes burned during the recent Palisades and Eaton fires. The 10-minute work for strings, featuring violinist Luanne Homzy, was dedicated to composer James Newton Howard and his wife Annica, who launched a crowd-funding piece on Golub’s behalf during the days after the wildfires. Howard opened the concert with a classically styled suite from his score for “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.” He called the event “a much-needed morale booster” for the community and voiced what everyone in the room silently acknowledged: that “many close friends” had lost their homes in the disaster.
