As LA Phil enters their second century, they are committed to working with the incredible array of artists who bring much-needed replenishment and room for thought into our lives as individuals and as members of a broader community. Through music, they show us the way forward, to an ever more vibrant future.
The LA Phil’s Music & Artistic Director will begin their season with seven different programs, including previews of two stunning lineups that will be toured in three countries. The magnificent music ranges from symphonies by Beethoven and Bruckner through favorite American composers and Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, all the way to recent works by two of the most exciting composers working today, John Adams and Andrew Norman. Joining Dudamel will be such artists as pianists Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Yuja Wang, and Seong-Jin Cho.
