The Los Angeles Philharmonic and Classical California KUSC continue their annual radio broadcast partnership, reaching listeners across Southern California. This broadcast series, recorded during the LA Phil’s 2023/24 season at Walt Disney Concert Hall, pairs the orchestra with an impressive roster of guest artists and conductors, showcasing an eclectic repertoire that includes world premieres from composers Timo Andres, Jonathan Bailey Holland, and Andreia Pinto Correia. Through the organizations’ ongoing partnership with WFMT and the WFMT Radio Network, the 2024 broadcast series will also be syndicated nationwide.

The first concert in the 2024 broadcast series will air locally on KUSC’s SoCal Sunday Night program, the station’s weekly local concert spotlight, on Sunday, April 7, 2024, at 7:00pm. It will feature Elim Chan leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a program of works by Jessie Montgomery, George Gershwin, and Sergie Rachmaninoff.

This series is made possible through the endowed LA Phil Broadcast Program Fund, generously supported by the Lenore S. and Bernard A. Greenberg Fund.
