Following his acclaimed projects Überbach, This Is (Not) Beethoven, and The Mozart / Nyman Concert, Savannah Music Festival favorite Sebastian Knauer’s artistic journey has now taken him to Hollywood. His latest album, Hollywood, showcases the work of American composers such as George Gershwin, Aaron Copland, Alex North, Elmer Bernstein, Bernard Herrmann, and Jerry Goldsmith—all of whom share three common threads: they hail from the USA, blend classical composition with film music, and are connected to Alfred Newman, a pioneering figure of the Hollywood sound. This special festival performance will feature Knauer, a Steinway artist, on piano, accompanied by a string quintet.
