Beschreibung

From 1981 to 1994, music patron and art collector Betty Freeman hosted musical soirées in her Beverly Hills home, inviting key arts figures to hear and engage with the most important composers of the time. The Music Room is a collection of transcriptions of tape recordings made at the salons and photographs Freeman took of these events that gives a never-before-seen account of how contemporary music in America and Europe developed and expanded in the home of a Beverly Hills music lover.
