Carlos Simon’s Dreaming Together
At the LA Phil, we believe in the power of music to spark imaginations and shape young lives. Our Symphonies for Youth concerts invite children and their families to soak up the sounds of a world-class orchestra while experiencing the thrill of live performance.
Experience a brand-new work by Carlos Simon, a composer whose “scores often sound as if they believe, sincerely yet humbly, in their own power to make a difference” (The New York Times). Simon’s Dreaming Together is inspired by The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra—Benjamin Britten’s colorful and exciting introduction to the instrument families—and will be paired with text by spoken word artist Marc Bamuthi Joseph.
Hear Simon’s world-premiere composition alongside Shostakovich’s bubbly and bright Festive Overture, a celebratory piece hand-selected by Thomas Wilkins, Principal Conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and your host for the morning.
- 45 minutes, no intermission
