Classical music has a glorious past, but the LA Phil is about creating the future with a focus on commissions and world premieres. The orchestra’s conductors are a who’s who of legendary classical conductors. It is also a leader in collaborations with great non-musical artists of the day.

Founded in 1919, the LA Phil now performs on three home stages: the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, and in summer at the Hollywood Bowl and The Ford. The Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl is a big deal for Angelenos.

Gustavo Dudamel

Gustavo Dudamel is a renowned multi-Grammy winning conductor, originally from Barquisimeto, Venezuela. He is a very contemporary thinker in the Classical Music context who has become a Pop star himself.

The man works like a New Yorker. He is Music & Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Music Director of the Opéra National de Paris and Venezuela’s Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra. He became Music Director of the Simón Bolívar orchestra when he was just 18.

Dudamel is known for conducting Mahler, and promoting the music of the Americas. He officially took the helm as LA Phil music director in 2009. He was one of “Time” magazine’s 100 most influential people that year.

Artists

Gabriela Ortiz

Gabriela Ortiz, from Mexico City, is one of Mexico’s leading classical composers. Known for her serious, but accessible compositions, Ortiz is commissioned by orchestras around the world.

She is a Guggenheim Fellow, Fulbright Fellow, and has been awarded Mexico’s highest cultural honor, the National Prize for Arts and Literature.

Dudamel has called her “one of the most talented composers in the world” (NPR). He described her composition “Téenek,” as “one of the most brilliant I have ever directed. Its color, its texture, the harmony and the rhythm that it contains are all something unique. Gabriela possesses a particular capacity to showcase our Latin identity.”

Ortiz dedicated “Altar de Cuerda” for violin and orchestra to María Dueñas who plays its NY Premiere in this concert series.
