LA PHIL IN THE COMMUNITY The LA Phil has a long-standing commitment to the education of current and future generations of concert-goers. More than 150,000 benefit each year from our concerts for schools and families, in-school residencies, training for young composers, free neighborhood concerts, pre-concert lectures and more. YOLA (Youth Orchestra LA) – inspired by Gustavo Dudamel’s artistic vision and experience in Venezuela’s El Sistema – works with community partners to provide free instruments and high quality music instruction to children in underserved areas of Los Angeles. Your ticket purchases and donations help to ensure the future of these programs and more. Details at LAPhil.com/Education 20

Antonovich, Fifth District. The Hollywood Bowl thanks the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for its support of the Park & Ride program, and our many sponsors and donors for their generosity.
The Music Director Chair held by Gustavo Dudamel is endowed by a gift to the LA Phil from the Walt and Lilly Disney Foundation. The Creative Chair for Jazz held by Herbie Hancock is endowed by a gift to the LA Phil from William Powers and Carolyn Powers.
