A Celebration of New Music • Walt Disney Concert Hall NOV 7-19
The California Festival is a statewide music showcase spotlighting the most compelling and forward-looking voices in performances of works written in the past five years.
As part of the festival, the LA Phil will present concerts ranging from songs of Latin American protest led by Gustavo Dudamel to world premieres from cutting-edge composers to recitals with trailblazers.
More details for the state-wide program can be found at cafestival.org.
The California Festival is generously supported by the Michael J. Connell Foundation, Christian Stracke, and the MaddocksBrown Fund for New Music.
New and classic music that channels everything from rock and folk to Mahler and Chick Corea.
Dudamel leads musical tributes to activists Violeta Para and Susan B. Anthony, and Silvana Estrada joins to share her own thoughtful and visionary songs.
Gustavo leads Gabriela Ortiz’s ballet score inspired by the “Glitter Revolution,” and Leticia Moreno performs Piazzolla’s Four Seasons.
Featuring YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles) and musicians from the Juilliard School
“California holds a unique place in music and culture, not just in the United States but in the wider world as well. It brings out the unexpected and illuminates the unseen, moving even the most reserved among us.”
