A Celebration for a Maestro: MTT
On February 1, 2025, we celebrated the conductor, pianist, and visionary artist Michael Tilson Thomas, or as he’s affectionately known, MTT. Born in Los Angeles, Tilson Thomas achieved international acclaim but also held a profound and enduring relationship with the LA Phil across five decades of brilliant music-making. Patrick Stewart narrates this tribute to a singular artist.
