We can see in the attentive eyes of his pupils in the inner-city public schools of Los Angeles that Vienna-born Herbert Zipper, who survived Dachau and Buchenwald to become one of the great music educators in the world, teaches much more than music. Academy Award–nominated Never Look Back is an elegant tribute to the indomitable character of this 91-year-old composer and conductor whose original scores illuminate the film. The integrity of his art sustains his life, and he teaches that music and the arts are essential to the everyone’s existence.
