MUSE/IQUE Presents
WELCOME TO THE DREAM FACTORY
The Hollywood Imagination and the Immigrant Composers Who Built It
The incredible story of Hollywood’s first Golden Age and the European immigrants who came to Los Angeles in the 1930s and 1940s and invented the modern art of film scoring.
MUSE/IQUE welcomes you to the golden days of Hollywood, where audacious dreams were built on sound stages by composers, actors, and directors, and lit up for the world on silver screens. Through soaring scores from films like The Wizard of Oz, Sunset Boulevard, and Casablanca, we present a story of resilience and imagination that transformed Hollywood into a beacon of opportunity.
When immigrant artists (including many talented Jewish composers) fleeing oppressive rule across Europe landed in Los Angeles, they brought with them new influences and perspectives that changed studios like MGM, 20th Century Fox, and Universal Studios forever. Through the lens of these pioneering filmmakers, Artistic & Music Director Rachael Worby and our artists explore how even in the darkest of times, fantasy and creativity can rebuild hope.

Sy Smith Biography
“Sy Smith has proven throughout her career that an R&B artist can be progressive while remaining firmly
rooted in tradition. Foremost a singer with a vocal range spanning five octaves, Smith began an
unending succession of background gigs with Whitney Houston in the late '90s, and has since worked closely with Grammy-winning trumpeter Chris Botti and Grammy-nominated group the Foreign Exchange, among dozens of other artists. After a brief period signed to a major, Smith established an independent label of her own, an outlet for compositionally solid and sonically adventurous albums
including The Syberspace Social (2005), Conflict (2008), Fast and Curious (2012), and the entirely
self-produced Sometimes a Rose Will Grow in Concrete (2018). She's consequently known for being a
leading force in post-millennial indie soul.” - Andy Kellman
Sy raises her own bar and then leaps over it with her latest offering “Until We Meet Again” - her critically-acclaimed album produced by Zo! & Tall Black Guy, executive produced by Phonte Coleman and released on +FE Music in January 2024. This mellifluously soulful LP is drawing comparisons to Minnie Riperton and Deniece Williams and is already being called “the album of the year” by a few
critics. Music journalist Mark Chappelle says “Smith evokes multiple traditions at once. With the sincerity
of Diana Ross dedicating “Missing You” to Marvin Gaye, Smith lets her voice levitate until it breaks—as if just the right frequency could resurrect a loved one.”
