The Music Center's Walt Disney Concert Hall

Legendary artist and DJ D-Nice ushers in 2025! His spirit of uplift and positivity brought millions together for Club Quarantine, both online and in one of the highlights of the 2021 Bowl season. Following appearances at the 94th Academy Awards and New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, as well as concerts at Carnegie Hall and the Apollo Theater, he sets it off for a party worthy of the biggest night of the year.

Sixteen years ago, Lisa Batiashvili recorded an outstanding rendition of Beethoven’s sole Violin Concerto. Critic James Leonard praised her performance: “Her tone is pure but touched with sweetness, her intonation precise but not at all pedantic, her phrasing lyrical but not the least sappy, and her feeling for rhythm irresistible.” Batiashvili revisits the concerto under the baton of London-born conductor Robin Ticciati, leading the LA Phil in Dvořák’s own folk-inspired lyricism including his Prague Waltzes and the strikingly colorful “mood picture” that is his Eighth Symphony.

“If anyone deserves to be called the greatest showman, it’s organ virtuoso Paul Jacobs” (Broad Street Review). Jacobs returns for a program that highlights the technical intricacies of Bach and the Romantic charisma of Liszt.

Experience big performances on a more intimate scale when musicians from the LA Phil perform chamber music in small ensembles. Come early and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine before the performance, starting at 6:30pm.

With his “clear-eyed precision” and an “ever-thoughtful approach” (Presto Music), Igor Levit performs remarkable works for solo piano by classical music’s esteemed Three B’s: Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms.

Nathalie Stutzmann brings her unparalleled technique and elegance to two passionate Romantic works, “shock[ing] us into hearing something quite new in music we think we know” (Opera Today). Robert Schumann’s triumphant Second Symphony transforms the relentless drums and trumpets blaring in the composer’s mind into a heroic fanfare that frames the symphony intermixed with yearning adagio and whiplash scherzo. Brahms’ intense yet intimate Second Piano Concerto displays the composer’s more sophisticated side and limitless creativity, allowing pianist Sunwook Kim to confidently push the boundaries of tonality and “grasp every single nuance in the score with poise and natural ease” (The Guardian).

The feeling you get when a black-and-white film suddenly bursts into technicolor in a rush of emotion? That’s the sound of Cody Fry’s music. It’s no wonder the singer, songwriter, composer, producer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist has stirred up a huge following over the last ten years with his emotional orchestral pop. Fry followed up his #1 Billboard Classical Tracks hit “I Hear a Symphony” with 2023’s The End, an album of lush, surging songs that explore intimate themes like mental health and personal change. Coming on the heels of a Grammy nomination for his re-orchestration of the Beatles’ classic “Eleanor Rigby,” it’s no wonder American Songwriter said, “Cody Fry’s music is simultaneously breathtaking and familiar.”

LA Phil musicians perform Nicolás Lell Benavides’ new work for oboe, string quartet, and tenor Joshua Blue.

Musical theatre legend Sutton Foster (The Drowsy Chaperone, The Music Man) returns to the Ahmanson Theatre as Princess Winnifred in this beloved musical fairytale.
