Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra

In 1919, the Los Angeles Philharmonic was founded as L.A.’s first permanent symphony orchestra. A century later, the LA Phil is recognized as one of the world’s outstanding orchestras, leading the way in groundbreaking programming and high-impact educational initiatives. Throughout its history, the LA Phil has been enriched by the remarkable talent and artistic vision of globally renowned conductors such as Artur Rodzinski, Otto Klemperer, Zubin Mehta, Carlo Maria Giulini and Andre Previn.   The LA Phil is as vibrant as Los Angeles, one of the world's most open and dynamic cities. Led by Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel, the LA Phil takes audiences on sweeping musical journeys through electrifying performances, cutting-edge music education, and innovative community engagement programs.
