Syracuse University Library’s Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) has opened an exhibition titled Lights, Camera, Music! on émigré composers Miklós Rózsa and Franz Waxman. Both men created scores for what are indisputably regarded as classic films from Hollywood’s golden age (Ben Hur and Sunset Boulevard are examples). The center is exhibiting material that commemorates the work of these musical celebrities in recognition of anniversaries associated with them.

The exhibition is free and open to the public. It will be available weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (excepting holidays) until June 30, 2007. Pay parking is available in the Marion visitor lot on Waverly Avenue.
