This Lively History Immerses The Reader In San Franciscos Musical Life During The First Half Of The Twentieth Century, Showing How A Fractious Community Overcame Virulent Partisanship To Establish Cultural Monuments Such As The San Francisco Symphony (1911) And Opera (1923). Leta E. Miller Draws On Primary Source Material And Firsthand Knowledge Of The Music To Argue That A Utopian Vision Counterbalanced Partisan Interests And Inspired Cultural Endeavors, Including The San Francisco Conservatory, Two World Fairs, And Americas First Municipally Owned Opera House. Miller Demonstrates That Rampant Racism, Initially Directed Against Chinese Laborers (And Their Music), Reappeared During The 1930S In The Guise Of Labor Unrest As Wpa Music Activities Exploded In Vicious Battles Between Administrators And Artists, And African American And White Jazz Musicians Competed For Jobs In Nightclubs.
