The Music Center's Walt Disney Concert Hall

The incomparable creativity of Mozart is on full display in this wondrous program that includes his final piano concerto and final symphony. Peerless Mozart interpreter Mitsuko Uchida—described by Gramophone as having stunning “virtuosity and elan” and tonal shading “verging on the miraculous”—joins the LA Phil for the Piano Concerto No. 27. Dudamel leads the exuberant “Jupiter” Symphony, one of the composer’s longest symphonies and one of his most enduring and loved.

One of the great vocalists, songwriters, and composers of his generation, Rufus Wainwright returns to Walt Disney Concert Hall with songs from his Grammy-nominated album Unfollow the Rules, his first non-operatic album in eight years. Long lauded for his sophistication and wit, he's now working at the peak of his powers, his music guided by passion, honesty, and a newfound fearlessness. Be there for a career-spanning night with the celebrated musician.

Duke Ellington and Mary Lou Williams were giants of jazz who never stopped searching for new means of expression. Inspired by their faith, both created major sacred choral works that grew out of the African American church tradition and pushed against the boundaries of both sacred music and jazz. This concert is a celebration of distinctive music created by two American originals.

Concert of Hope will feature popular works by Mozart and Beethoven as well as Broadway show music and will be performed on a collection of violins recovered from the Holocaust.  Maestro Gary S. Greene, Esq., will lead the LA Lawyers Philharmonic and its chorus, Legal Voices, in a memorable evening benefiting the City of Hope and Violins of Hope. The music will bridge classical works that were performed on these instruments during the Holocaust to works by composers who were victims of the Holocaust to later works of remembrance by John Williams (Theme from Schindler’s List) to a medley from Fiddler on the Roof.  Composer Bill Marx’s Overture for A City of Hope will be premiered, and Tony Award winner Michael Maguire, Esq., will be featured in songs from Man of La Mancha.  KFI’s Bill Handel will MC, and actor Hal Linden will narrate. Jim Raycroft is choral director.

The FOOSA Philharmonic returns to Walt Disney Concert Hall with a lush and energetic program of Tower, Scriabin, and Shostakovich. Inspired by Beethoven and the giant California Sequoia trees, Joan Tower’s Sequoia is a highly energetic, beautiful, and poetic orchestral work. Alexander Scriabin’s The Poem of Ecstasy surges with a rarely relenting sense of extended yearning, with a constantly unfolding rhapsodic outpouring of leitmotifs, erotic textures, and exorbitantly rich colors, culminating in a transcendent release of delayed gratification. Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 11 “The Year 1905” is a defiant ode to the Russian revolution of that year and its seminal “Bloody Sunday.”

A Soldier’s Play, the 1982 Pulitzer Prize-winning thriller by Charles Fuller, has rocketed back into the spotlight, thanks to this 2020 Tony Award®-winning Best Revival from Roundabout Theatre Company. “This is a play that deserves to be staged regularly all over America—though it’s hard to imagine that it will ever be done better than this. It keeps you guessing all the way to the final curtain” (The Wall Street Journal).

In 1944, on a Louisiana Army base, two shots ring out. A Black sergeant is murdered and a series of interrogations triggers a gripping barrage of questions about sacrifice, service, and identity in America. Broadway’s Norm Lewis leads a powerhouse cast in the show Variety calls “a knock-your-socks-off-drama," directed by Tony Award winner Kenny Leon.

Shown in real time on LED screens on Jerry Moss Plaza at The Music Center, dancers perform an original contemporary work remotely from Geneva, Switzerland—6,000 miles away from Downtown Los Angeles. The dancers outfitted with motion capture suits are digitally altered to become avatars for the high-tech performance. Throughout the 30-minute experience, the dancers will be revealed in human form on-screen intermittently to give audiences a behind-the-scenes glimpse of them dancing from their Geneva studio.

He's a beloved leader, a distinguished military commander and a devoted husband. But when an envious subordinate introduces the notion—just the slightest whispered hint—that Otello's wife Desdemona might possibly be unfaithful, it's enough to send him into a downward spiral of fury and murder.

Hailed as the pinnacle of the Italian operatic repertoire, Verdi’s transformation of the original Shakespeare play is a powerful drama of uncontrolled human emotion at its most extreme. Verdi's musical portrait of Otello’s descent into a tortured heart of darkness is explicit in every chilling detail as he destroys all in life that he holds dear.

Verdi master James Conlon takes command of the truly epic musical forces. The powerhouse cast is led by Artist in Residence Russell Thomas in the title role (considered the "Mount Everest" of the dramatic tenor repertoire). Rachel Willis-Sørensen makes a highly anticipated company debut as the doomed Desdemona and Igor Golovatenko is the sadistic Iago, slyly exploiting Otello's one fatal flaw: jealousy.
