The Los Angeles Philharmonic will celebrate California’s musical culture with the three-week, multidisciplinary West Coast, Left Coast Festival, curated by LA Philharmonic Creative Chair John Adams. “The West Coast, Left Coast festival is a celebration of music that is, in a sense, native born, arising from the curious and unique nature of the California sensibility,” Adams says. The festival, which runs November 21–December 8, will feature performances of works by Californian composers by the LA Philharmonic, the Kronos Quartet, the Calder Quartet, Terry Riley, Christian McBride, and many others. laphil.com |
