THE LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC ANNOUNCES PLAY YOUR PART: A BENEFIT FOR YOLA

FEATURING BRANDI CARLILE, GUSTAVO DUDAMEL, THOMAS WILKINS, MEMBERS OF THE LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC           

The Los Angeles Philharmonic will debut the Play Your Part online benefit concert hosted by Gustavo Dudamel and Thomas Wilkins, and featuring the GRAMMY® Award-winning singer-songwriter and producer Brandi Carlile, Friday, August 7, at 7pm. Carlile had been scheduled to open the Hollywood Bowl’s 2020 season with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and YOLA (Youth Orchestra LA). Following the season’s cancelation, she instead connected with the young musicians of YOLA online, and they will perform together as part of the Play Your Part benefit. The program, which will also feature members of the LA Phil, will be available for streaming on-demand for free from August 7 through 14 on the Hollywood Bowl website.

This very special event raises vital funds for YOLA and the LA Phil’s influential Learning programs and is made possible by a generous community of supporters.

About the Hollywood Bowl —

One of the largest natural amphitheaters in the world, with a seating capacity of nearly 18,000, the Hollywood Bowl has been the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic since its official opening in 1922 and plays host to the finest artists from all genres of music, offering something for everyone. It remains one of the best deals anywhere in Los Angeles; to this day, $1 buys a seat at the top of the Bowl for many classical and jazz performances. In February 2020, the Hollywood Bowl was awarded Outdoor Concert Venue of the Year at the 31st Annual Pollstar Awards, an honor bestowed 14 previous times. It was also awarded the Top Amphitheater prize at the 2017 and 2018 Billboard Touring Awards. For millions of music lovers across Southern California, the Hollywood Bowl is synonymous with summer. hollywoodbowl.com
