Walt Disney
Concert Hall

Designed by Frank Gehry and considered to be an architectural masterpiece, Walt Disney Concert Hall is a modern marvel and a Los Angeles icon. Completed in 2003, it is the newest of The Music Center’s four venues, and home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Los Angeles Master Chorale. Walt Disney Concert Hall is one of the most acoustically sophisticated concert halls in the world, providing both visual and aural intimacy for an unparalleled musical experience. The auditorium is configured in a “vineyard” style, which allows for seating on all four sides of the stage.

Although not a part of The Music Center, the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT) is a multi-media arts center housed within the Walt Disney Concert Hall complex.

Ira Gershwin Gallery

The Library of Congress/Ira Gershwin Gallery, housed inside The Music Center's Walt Disney Concert Hall, was designed by Hodgetts and Fung Design Associates and made possible by a generous gift from the Ira and Leonore Gershwin Trust for the Benefit of the Library of Congress. The gallery is situated on the second floor of Walt Disney Concert Hall and rotates its collection bi-annually. Guest can visit the gallery while on a Music Center tour or with their ticket while attending a performance inside the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
