Invitational Rehearsal at Walt Disney Concert Hall on February 4, 2020
Our Friends had the unique opportunity to sit in on a rehearsal of a percussion ensemble, led by the LA Phil’s own Principal Timpanist, Joseph Pereira. This exciting program expanded upon the concert’s Nordic theme, and afterward, Joseph answered some questions from our Friends.

How to Donate Tickets
As a non-profit institution, the LA Phil relies on both ticket sales and contributions from generous supporters to sustain our work both on stage and in the community. While canceling performances is the right decision for the well-being of our city, musicians, and staff, it has made support through donations even more vital. If you are able, please consider donating (in part or full) the value of your tickets and know that by doing so you are helping us continue to impact lives through our music and education programs.
