LA Fest

Our City. Our Sound.

To celebrate our Centennial, we’re exploring the sounds that make our city unique, with brand-new works from some of the sharpest composers in Southern California, orchestral collaborations with world-renowned musicians who make their home here, and genre-spanning performances that offer a glimpse of Los Angeles’ complex musical makeup.

Gustavo Dudamel opens with a concert exploring the virtuosity of the LA Phil and its own composers – Conductor Laureate Esa-Pekka Salonen and Andrew Norman, Director of our Composer Fellowship Program (Oct 4-6). 

Norman curates a Green Umbrella program, with Dudamel leading the LA Phil New Music Group in contemporary music from Southern California (Oct 9)

Fluxus

Fluxus was a willy, nebulous - and deeply influential - anti-establishment current founded in the 1960s. An international collective of artists, composers, and poets, Fluxus aimed to collapse what it considered the false wall between art and life. In a survey curated by Christopher Roundtree in a collaboration with the Getty Research Institute, the often-humorous, frequently challenging music and performances of Fluxus will be presented on- and off-site, including an orchestral subscription concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall. 

In Partnership with the Getty Research Institute.
