Things Happening on The Music Center Campus Tickets & Free Events

The wine is flowing a little too freely, and two young men enter into a risky (and risqué) bet: Each will try to seduce the other’s fiancée. Hijinks ensue, with dashing disguises, outrageous flirting, and, of course, wedding bells—but we won't say who ends up together! 

Mozart’s razor-sharp comedy is back in a delightful production by director Michael Cavanagh. A stylish set by Erhard Rom updates the action to a swanky American country club, bursting with kitsch and color. James Conlon conducts a fantastic ensemble cast, led by longtime LA Opera favorites Ana María Martínez and Rod Gilfry as the schemers behind the deception. Featuring an endless parade of exquisite ensembles, Mozart’s deliciously scandalous opera is a can’t-miss for newcomers and seasoned fans alike.

Grammy-winning violinist Augustin Hadelich moves fast and furiously through the only violin concerto Tchaikovsky composed, which Hadelich says is the most exhilarating, satisfying, and exhausting piece to perform. “Each one of the suspensions out of which the theme is built feels both pleasant and painful and feels more urgent than the last,” Hadelich writes. Joana Mallwitz revels in the grandness of Schubert’s “Great” Symphony from its opening solo French horn call, through its romping scherzo, to its glorious fanfare finale. 

These 45-minute interactive Los Angeles Philharmonic concerts introduce young audiences to symphonic music. Before each concert, families are invited to participate in hands-on arts workshops.

This concert is recommended for children ages 5 to 11.

Associate Artistic Director Jenny Wong leads Carl Orff's epic and propulsive Carmina Burana, along with the world premiere of a vibrant new work by Swan Family Artist-in-Residence Reena Esmail. Carmina Burana's evocative lyrics, drawn from medieval poetry, speak of love, lust, and the inexorable wheel of fate. Esmail's new work will be based on a variety of folk songs representing different languages and traditions of the Indian subcontinent.

In MUSE/IQUE’s roaring season opener at the Mark Taper Forum, we explore how Ray Charles’ diverse musical genres, influences, and collaborators all culminated in his landmark recording of “America the Beautiful.” Featuring the inimitable Brandon Victor Dixon and DC6 Singers Collective on vocals.

For the first few decades of his career, Ray Charles electrified us with his genius knack for blending gospel, blues, jazz, rock and soul.

Then, in 1972, the ultimate musical trailblazer did something even he’d never done before: he infused his work with an anthemic message of empathy at a time when we really needed it. With his album A Message From the People, and its cornerstone reinterpretation of “America The Beautiful,” Charles expressed his own vision of America—confronting our contradictions and lighting a path back toward our ideals.

In this rousing performance, MUSE/IQUE brings to life Charles’s remarkable career, with genre-spanning hits like “Hit the Road Jack” to “I Can’t Stop Loving You” and more, and the crucial role his music has in shaping our collective vision of America. Through our favorite Charles classics, MUSE/IQUE Artistic & Music Director Rachael Worby and a brilliant array of artists take us on a deeply personal, yet universally resonant, journey through patriotism, citizenship, and the enduring hope for a better future.

Emmanuelle Haïm and Le Concert d’Astrée, which she founded, are celebrated as some of the most respected performers of Baroque music. In the first season of her three-year role as Artist Collaborator, Haïm and her ensemble join the LA Phil for two magnificent choral tapestries by Bach and Handel. The Guardian wrote that Haïm conducts Handel with “balance between spiritual joy and humane sensuality,” and Gramophone praised her recording of both works with Le Concert d’Astrée saying Haïm “harnesses and molds the solos with a kaleidoscopic scheme of voice-types, hand-picked for each movement and irradiated by sensuous, soft-grained textures and open vowels.” With the help of a celebrated cast of soloists, Haïm sculpts the divine chorales and exalted architecture of Handel’s Dixit Dominus and Bach’s Magnificat.
