Dudamel's farewell season

The farewell begins with one of the most powerful pieces ever written. Gustavo Dudamel leads the LA Phil, YOLA, the LA Master Chorale, and the Los Angeles Children's Chorus in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, plus a world premiere by Oscar-winning composer Michael Giacchino with lyrics by poet Amanda Gorman.

Seventeen years of friendships, collaborations, and genre-defying nights at the Bowl, distilled into one evening. Gustavo Dudamel curates a surprise-filled lineup of his favorite artists for a one-of-a-kind celebration that could only happen here, and could only be put together by him.

One of the greatest rock bands on the planet shares the stage with a full orchestra and the Youth Orchestra Los Angeles for a night that encapsulates everything Dudamel's tenure has stood for. Boundary-pushing, genre-defying, and absolutely not to be missed.

Gustavo Dudamel closes out his 17-year run as LA Phil Music and Artistic Director with a love letter to Los Angeles. A genre-spanning retrospective of the music, collaborations, and moments that defined one of the most celebrated tenures in the history of American orchestral music.
