Wildfire Recovery Efforts
LAST UPDATED: TUES, APR 1, 2025
We are heartbroken by the devastation of the wildfires in Los Angeles, and at the same time, profoundly moved by the outpouring of generosity and selflessness among Angelenos.
Our immense gratitude goes out to all the firefighters and first responders who tirelessly fought these fires. The Sunset fire came perilously close to the Hollywood Bowl, but due to the firefighters’ quick and skilled response, we sustained no damage. This is one example of the incredible work of these heroes.
LA is nothing if not resilient. Just as an orchestra is stronger than its individual members, Los Angeles is most powerful when we are working together.
We love you, LA!
How We're Supporting
As the response to this crisis continues, the LA Phil is working to assess immediate needs among our community and offer support through fundraising, collecting supplies and volunteering. We are also partnering with local organizations including the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation and Social Justice Learning Institute to support their relief services.
Free Tickets for First Responders and Those Impacted
In February, we offered complimentary tickets to select performances at Walt Disney Concert Hall for first responders and impacted residents.
Donating Proceeds
From February through March, 2025, 5% of ticket purchases for LA Phil concerts at Walt Disney Concert Hall went to support the Los Angeles County Parks Foundation to support their work in rebuilding parks, trails, and nature centers devastated by the fires.
Supplies Collection
For the week of January 14, we partnered with the Social Justice Learning Institute (SJLI) and LA County Parks Care Camps to collect supply donations for wildfire victims at three of our venues: Beckmen YOLA Center (Inglewood), Hollywood Bowl (Hollywood), and Walt Disney Concert Hall (downtown Los Angeles).
Fundraising
Los Angeles Music Fund: We have set up a fund specifically to aid members of the LA music community, including performing arts staff at The Music Center and across the County who have lost their homes in the fires. Donations to the Los Angeles Music Fund can be made here:
Los Angeles County Parks Foundation: We are teaming up with the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation to support Care Camps for children and teens who have lost their homes and schools in the Eaton Fire. YOLA teaching artists and LA Phil musicians will take part in the camps, and we have provided education activity books for all participants. You can support the Parks Foundation and its Care Camp program here.
Wildfire Recovery Fund – California Community Foundation: Please also consider donating to CCF’s Wildfire Recovery Fund, which distributes grants for a variety of critical recovery services to affected communities.
