Gracias Gustavo Community Block Party

Sat Oct 11, 2025 10am Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen YOLA Center

Join us as we celebrate and reflect on Gustavo Dudamel’s legacy as LA Phil Music & Artistic Director, the impact of YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles), and the vibrancy of Inglewood and its surrounding communities!

As part of the LA Phil’s 2025/26 season, affectionately dubbed “Gracias Gustavo,” we invite you to a special event honoring the power of music, youth, art, and community.

This site-wide activation at the Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen YOLA Center in Inglewood will bring together YOLA musicians and alumni, local artists, community partners, vendors, and families for a full day of performances and activities.
