## Resource

Victor Young, born in Chicago (August 8, 1899), started playing the violin at the age of six and was sent to live with his grandfather in Poland when he was ten. He attended the Warsaw Conservatory, and while still a teenager, embarked on a career as a concert violinist with the Warsaw Philharmonic. World War I kept him from returning to the United States until 1920, when he took a job performing with a Chicago theater orchestra. In the mid-1930s, he relocated to Hollywood and composed a number of songs for films that have become standards and embraced by jazz musicians for decades. Young won a posthumous Oscar for his score for Around the World in 80 Days in 1957. Jazz Evensong Schedule:https://stmichaelsbythesea.org/evensong
