Things Happening on The Music Center Campus Tickets & Free Events

The wine is flowing a little too freely, and two young men enter into a risky (and risqué) bet: Each will try to seduce the other’s fiancée. Hijinks ensue, with dashing disguises, outrageous flirting, and, of course, wedding bells—but we won't say who ends up together! 

Mozart’s razor-sharp comedy is back in a delightful production by director Michael Cavanagh. A stylish set by Erhard Rom updates the action to a swanky American country club, bursting with kitsch and color. James Conlon conducts a fantastic ensemble cast, led by longtime LA Opera favorites Ana María Martínez and Rod Gilfry as the schemers behind the deception. Featuring an endless parade of exquisite ensembles, Mozart’s deliciously scandalous opera is a can’t-miss for newcomers and seasoned fans alike.

Celebrating over 40 years of her visionary artistry, this violin icon returns with her longtime recital partner Özgür Aydin for an emotive program which offers musical reflections on suffering and loss that is inspired by the Spanish writer Federico García Lorca’s poem "Casida of the Lament." Complementing one another’s strengths and personality on stage, Midori and Aydin have been praised by The New York Times as a duo whose performance "became a master class on color and nuance."

Singer, songwriter, guitarist, and actor Jason Isbell has steadily earned his place as one of music’s greatest performing songwriters. The six-time Grammy Award winner and rock 'n' roll icon celebrated a remarkable year in 2023, starring in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, releasing his ninth studio album, Weathervanes, and adding two more Grammy Award wins to his growing list of accolades. Isbell lights up any stage with “brutally beautiful” (Rolling Stone) songs such as “Cover Me Up,” “If We Were Vampires,” “King of Oklahoma,” and “Cast Iron Skillet,” and he returns to Walt Disney Concert Hall for a special solo acoustic performance.

Grammy-winning violinist Augustin Hadelich moves fast and furiously through the only violin concerto Tchaikovsky composed, which Hadelich says is the most exhilarating, satisfying, and exhausting piece to perform. “Each one of the suspensions out of which the theme is built feels both pleasant and painful and feels more urgent than the last,” Hadelich writes. Joana Mallwitz revels in the grandness of Schubert’s “Great” Symphony from its opening solo French horn call, through its romping scherzo, to its glorious fanfare finale. 

These 45-minute interactive Los Angeles Philharmonic concerts introduce young audiences to symphonic music. Before each concert, families are invited to participate in hands-on arts workshops.

This concert is recommended for children ages 5 to 11.
