About the LA Phil:

Founded in 1919, the LA Phil presents nearly 300 annual concerts ranging from jazz and pop to symphonic and recitals at Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and The Ford.

As a non-profit organization, the LA Phil is supported by both ticket sales and donations, and it works to impact the city of Los Angeles through community and learning programs, including YOLA.

We're an organization formed and transformed by Los Angeles.

The LA Phil is many things-an orchestra, a collection of venues, a youth education program-all with one core belief: That everyone should have access to experience the power of live music.

We envision the LA Phil as a place where everyone feels welcome, we celebrate what is timeless and universal, and we support emerging artists who reflect today's world.
