Events and reviews Erich Wolfgang Korngold died on 29 November 1957, in Hollywood, California. In honor of the 50th anniversary of his death, events were held throughout the world over the course of 2007, including concerts, symposia, film screenings, and more. Unsurprisingly, a concentration of events took place in the latter half of the year, focusing on the actual month he died. We are attempting to present here a retrospective of some of the events that made this memorial year of 2007 special for the family, friends and fans of Erich Wolfgang Korngold and his music. Our primary emphasis is to try to help share a small part of this special series of memorial events with those who were unable to be present at them. As such, the list of stories, photos, and reviews may grow over the coming weeks and months. Our assistant website editor, Troy Dixon, spent the last half of November traveling around Europe, joining a small entourage of people attending special concerts and events in London and Vienna. Before starting out, he conceived an idea of creating this memorial page, and kept a small ‘diary’ (“Tagebuch” in German) as the days of the trip passed. So we begin with that short diary, and will post more recollections as time goes on.
