The season spans 14 weeks from June 22 to Sept. 30, and includes presentations of classical music by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, weekend shows with the Philharmonic and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, jazz, world music, pop, rock and special presentations, as well as family and educational programs.

We also have collaborations with The Decemberists and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and three nights of South Pacific, starring Reba McEntire and Brian Stokes Mitchell with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.”
