Hailed for outstanding artistry since 1919, the acclaim of the Los Angeles Philharmonic continues under the leadership of Venezuelan Gustavo Dudamel, one of the most exciting young conductors today. Dudamel’s infectious emotional energy wins over the most jaded souls. For his inaugural concert at the Hollywood Bowl, 18,000 people greeted him with a hollering, stamping, pop-star ovation.
Each year, the LA Phil presents these national broadcasts hosted by Brian Lauritzen, giving fresh perspective on orchestral performance today.
The Los Angeles Philharmonic program is part of the WFMT Orchestra Series.
Earth Between Oceans World Premiere

Stravinsky and Adams
We continue our spotlight on Gustavo Dudamel’s final season with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Composed in 2023 and co-commissioned by the LA Phil, Adams’ Frenzy was inspired by the psychological agitation of navigating a constant digital news cycle. Completing the program: workfs by Igor Stravinsky.
Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony
We conclude our exploration of Gustavo Dudamel’s final season with the Los Angeles Philharmonic through a monumental Mahler symphony. The “Resurrection” Symphony is one Gustav Mahler’s most famous works, the inspiration for which came in the form of a hymn read at the funeral of Hans von Bülow.
