Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall and beyond... The LA Phil presents an inspiring array of music from all genres at two of L.A.’s iconic venues- Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl- to audiences of all ages and economic backgrounds.
(2116)
With the preeminent Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra at the foundation of its offerings, the LA Phil aims to enrich and transform lives through music, with a robust mix of artistic, education and community programs. The Los Angeles Philharmonic is praised as one of the world's top orchestras, renowned for its innovative spirit, the virtuosity of its musicians, and its dynamic Music & Artistic Director, Gustavo Dudamel. Founded in 1919, the Philharmonic has grown steadily in stature, developing close bonds with such major music directors as Zubin Mehta, Carlo Maria Giulini and Esa-Pekka Salonen. In every case, that deep connection has helped define the direction and spirit of the orchestra and of the entire organization.

Operating as usual
The LA Phil, Hollywood Bowl, and The Ford mourn the passing of Tom LaBonge: a great advocate for the arts and friend to the LA Phil with an incomparable love for Los Angeles. Known as "Mr. Los Angeles" and as an L.A. City Councilmember, he regularly worked to help our venues however he could. The LA Phil family will remember Tom as an enthusiastic and kind man, a devoted public servant, and we will miss having him in the audience taking photos with his ever-present camera.
It’s a new year, and we’re looking to the future. Join Gustavo Dudamel and the LA Phil, Julie Andrews, Common, Katy Perry, Natalie Portman, Carlos Vives, Yuja Wang, and Liv Redpath for Icons on Inspiration, a free online event recorded live at the Hollywood Bowl. February 6 at 6pm PT.

Congratulations to LA Phil Conductor Laureate Esa-Pekka Salonen, who has received an honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth for his contributions to the world of music and relations between the UK and his home country of Finland. 👏
The Finnish conductor and composer was awarded an honorary KBE by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for his services to music and UK-Finland relations.
Pitches, dynamics, tempos, rhythms—everything is moving in composer Colin Matthews’ “Bassoonva.” See LA Phil bassoonist Evan Kuhlmann take on its twists and turns in our latest Green Umbrella video. #GreenUmbrellaTuesdays
