About this Performance
Inspired by Judy Baca’s mural The Great Wall of Los Angeles, Gustavo Dudamel and Gabriela Ortiz bring together a group of composers—Juhi Bansal, Nicolás Lell Benavides, Viet Cuong, Estevan Olmos, Xavier Muzik, and Nina Shekhar—to create an hour-long symphonic tribute to Angelenos who have shaped this city’s history, featuring a video installation from Academy Award winners, director Alejandro G. Iñárritu and cinematographer Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki.
