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.
