Live concerts have officially returned to Walt Disney Concert Hall. This past Saturday, The Los Angeles Philharmonic and Cynthia Erivo took to the hall’s stage for its Homecoming Concert & Gala, making it the first live performance held at the iconic venue in 579 days.
The Los Angeles Philharmonic kicked off the 2021-2022 season led by Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel. Ervio was the featured vocalist of the night and Seong-Jin Cho the pianist. Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz also premiered an original work commissioned by the orchestra which marked the start to her one-year curatorship of the multi-year Pan-American Music Initiative.
Proceeds from the concert benefit musical education programs for children and families throughout the Los Angeles area, and a number of celebrity guests were in attendance for the night of classical music to support that cause, including Lena Waithe and Angela Bassett.
