LA Philharmonic
The Los Angeles Philharmonic is an orchestra based
in Los Angeles, California, USA. From 1964 to
2003, the orchestra played its concerts in the
Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Los Angeles Music
Center. In 2003, it moved to the Frank Gehry-designed
Walt Disney Concert Hall next door.
Founded in 1919 by William Andrews
Clark, Jr. with Walter Henry Rothwell as its conductor,
it played its first concert in the same year,
eleven days after its first rehearsal.
Subsequent principal conductors
have included Artur Rodzinski (1929-33), Otto
Klemperer (1933-39), Eduard van Beinum (1956-59),
Zubin Mehta (1962-78), Carlo Maria Giulini (1978-84)
and André Previn (1985-89). From 1992,
Esa-Pekka Salonen has been its music director
and chief conductor.
Since its founding in 1919, the
LA Philharmonic has played at least one concert
a year in its "sister city", Santa Barbara,
California, presented by the Community Arts Music
Association (CAMA).
The LA Philharmonic is best known
to television and movie-going audiences as the
performers behind the music in the pilot film
to Battlestar Galactica, composed by Stu Phillips
and Glen A. Larson.
The Hollywood Bowl
The Hollywood Bowl is a modern amphitheatre in
Hollywood, California, USA, that is used primarily
for music performances. It officially opened in
1922 on the site of a natural amphitheatre formerly
known as the Daisy Dell, and has been the summer
home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic since then.
The Hollywood Bowl is well known
for its band shell, a distinctive set of concentric
arches that has graced the site since 1929. Popular
entertainers including Frank Sinatra, the Beatles,
and Judy Garland have given famous or noteworthy
performances under the shell. Cartoon buffs may
see a resemblence between the concentric arches
of the shell and Porky Pig's backdrop in Th-th-that's
all, f-f-folks; it is debatable whether it was
intentional (however, the Bowl did make appearances
in various Warner Brothers cartoon shorts, and
at least one DePatie-Freleng Pink Panther cartoon).

The Hollywood Bowl History
In July 11, 1922, with the audience seated on simple
wooden benches placed on the natural hillsides of Bolton Canyon,
conductor Alfred Hertz and the Los Angeles Philharmonic inaugurated
the first season of music under the stars at the Hollywood Bowl.
While much has changed in the ensuing years, the tradition of
presenting the world's greatest musicians and striving for musical
excellence has remained a constant goal of this famed Los Angeles
cultural landmark.
One of the largest natural amphitheaters in the
world, with a current seating capacity of just under 18,000, the
Hollywood Bowl has been the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic
since its official opening in 1922, and, in 1991 gave its name
to a resident ensemble that has filled a special niche in the
musical life of Southern California, the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.
In spite of wars, depression on a national scale,
financial stress, and internal dissension, the Bowl's summer music
festivals have gone on, becoming as much a part of a Southern
California summer as beaches and barbecues, the Dodgers and Disneyland.
Thanks to the area's magnificent climate, only a handful of concerts
during the Bowl's history have had to be postponed due to rain.
The Bowl grounds themselves -- one of Los Angeles County's most
renowned parks -- are open year-round for visitors to enjoy free
of charge.
Visitors today may have difficulty believing that
the Bowl is, indeed, 79 years old. The theatre itself-- visually
not much different from the way it looked in the 1930s when Leopold
Stokowski (pictured at right) conducted the Philharmonic or in
1964 when The Beatles played the Bowl-- seems ageless thanks to
careful upkeep which maintains its architectural integrity. The
grounds become more inviting each year, with added amenities to
enhance the concert-going experience. Since the passage of County
Proposition A in 1992, a major renovation plan has been implemented
at the Bowl. Beginning with completion of Phase 1 in 1995, Bowl
patrons and performers alike have benefited from significant improvements
to the facility, including more comfortable seating; enhanced
dining options; increased accessibility to all areas of the amphitheater;
an updated box-office plaza, backstage area, and parking lots;
substantially expanded restroom facilities; and much more. In
addition, Hollywood Bowl concerts, dining, and other attractions
are completely handicapped-accessible.
As a physical presence, the Bowl has come to symbolize
Southern California -- its glamour, romance, fun, and great performing
tradition. The magnificent amphitheater, with its signature arched
proscenium, known worldwide, has evolved through the years with
the creative assistance of three of architecture's luminaries.
In 1926 Myron Hunt, famed for his design of another Southern California
landmark -- the Rose Bowl in Pasadena -- designed the balloon-shaped
seating area that seems to rise from the stage and embrace the
hillside. Enlisting some of the most talented architects and designers
in Los Angeles, the Bowl's music shell would see four incarnations
between 1926 and 1929. Lloyd Wright, the oldest son of Frank Lloyd
Wright, designed two of these shells for the Bowl in 1927 and
1928 , the second of which (pictured above) provided the inspiration
for the current shell. In 1980, the internationally-renowned Los
Angeles architect Frank Gehry created the fiberglass spheres that
hang from the Bowl's shell to enhance the acoustics.
Of course, it is the incomparable performances that
have truly made the Hollywood Bowl's history unique. Legendary
artists have appeared at the Bowl throughout the years: Sinatra
... Pavarotti ... Streisand ... Stravinsky ... Heifetz. So have
F.D.R., The Beatles, Mickey Rooney, and Edward G. Robinson, as
well as such renowned "teams" as Fonteyn and Nureyev,
Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald, Simon and Garfunkel, and Abbott
and Costello. Baryshnikov has danced there, as has Fred Astaire.
Garth Brooks, Nat "King" Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie
Holiday, Elton John, Al Jolson, and Judy Garland have headlined
star-studded shows at the Bowl, but the all-time attendance record
of 26,410 paid admissions was set on August 7, 1936, for a performance
by the diminutive French opera star, Lily Pons.
As the site of a classical music festival, the Bowl
has provided a showcase for the world's greatest musicians. Bernstein,
Walter, Monteux, Koussevitzky, Stokowski, Karajan, Klemperer (pictured
at right), and Leinsdorf, as well as Mehta, Giulini, Rattle, and
Salonen are just a few of the renowned conductors who have led
the Los Angeles Philharmonic in summertime concerts over the past
seven decades. Itzhak Perlman, Gregor Piatigorsky, Artur Rubinstein,
Alfred Brendel, Vladimir Horowitz, Jessye Norman, Plácido
Domingo, Beverly Sills, Isaac Stern -- and other distinguished
vocal and instrumental soloists too numerous to mention -- have
graced the stage for Philharmonic concerts. But never during its
long and illustrious history has the Bowl's programming been limited
solely to symphonic events; fully staged operas were a regular
part of the season in the early years, and the famed Bolshoi Ballet
appeared during the 1950s.
Activities at the Bowl are not even necessarily
of a musical nature. It is the scene of commencement exercises
for Hollywood High School and other educational institutions.
To the thousands of pre-concert picnickers who enjoy balmy summer
evenings there it has become the place to dine. For innumerable
film and TV producers, the 120-acre grounds have provided the
perfect setting for dancing, romancing ... and even an occasional
mystery! And on at least one recorded occasion the Hollywood Bowl
was a romantic wedding chapel. On August 9, 1928, composer/conductor/pianist
Percy Grainger and Ella Viola Strom were married on stage immediately
after he conducted the world premiere of his tone poem To A Nordic
Princess, dedicated to his bride.
A "hit" from its very first season (1922),
the Hollywood Bowl has remained popular and accessible to a wide
cross-section of Southern California's diverse population. Individual
concert tickets were priced at under 50 cents during those early
years, and to this day $1 buys a seat at the top of the Bowl for
many of the Los Angeles Philharmonic's concerts during the Summer
Festival season. In addition to subscription concerts of classical
and popular music performed by the Bowl's resident orchestras,
the summer schedule includes an ever-growing variety of musical
presentations, including jazz programs, recitals, and performances
by visiting ensembles, Fireworks Spectaculars, and big-screen
movies-plus-music. During the day, the Bowl's youngest patrons
enjoy Open House at the Bowl, the Southland's most popular summer
arts festival for children, now in its 30th season.
Attendance figures over the past several decades
have soared; in 1980 the Bowl first topped the half-million mark.
Close to one million admissions were recorded for events at Summer
Festival 97. This number also includes those who attended a variety
of events that are independently produced, such as the annual
Playboy Jazz Festival, the Mariachi USA Festival, and pop and
country concerts.
In the future, the Hollywood Bowl will continue
to expand the scope of its concert activities while also continuing
its regimen of facility maintenance and upgrades that will enhance
the concert-going experience for audiences at the world-famous
concert center today and in the future.
