Dudamel/Mehta/Salonen - LA Phil 100 - The Los Andeles Philharmonic Centennial Birthday Gala, from Walt Disney Concert Hall

A century to the day after the orchestra�s first concert on 24th October 1919, the centennial season culminates in a �splashy gala night� (San Francisco Classical Voice) at the Walt Disney Concert Hall with the current and former chief conductors Dudamel, Mehta and Salonen sharing the podium. The repertoire is a true reflection of the DNA that makes the LA Phil the LA Phil and �the defining factor of this orchestra is its ability to blend genres and styles to create totally new takes on classical works.� (The Guardian) The New York Times recently called the LA Phil �America�s most important orchestra. Period�. Look no further than this concert�s program: Ravel's La Valse - Zubin Mehta; Lutos?awski's Symphony No. 4 - Esa-Pekka Salonen; Strawinsky's Firebird Suite - Gustavo Dudamel and the World Premiere of Dan�el Bjarnason's New Work for Three Conductors!
