A day in the life of Gustavo Dudamel

(Information from Facebook)

Euronews profiles a day in the life of Gustavo Dudamel, from a morning with the Youth Orchestra of LA to conducting the LA Phil at Walt Disney concert hall at night.

LA Phil Live!

The Los Angeles Philharmonic will be presenting three live theater events in 2011! You can buy a ticket at a movie theater near you and experience the orchestra from the comfort of your own zip code.

For more details (dates, program notes, etc), visit http://www.laphil.com/laphillive/. My only issue so far with this is that I didn't see anywhere how much the tickets will cost. This seems like information that would be important to have.

One of Patty's piano students mentioned to me awhile back that the LA Opera also does this too, and you can get more information about their programs, here.

There's also a story today in the New York Times about how orchestras and opera companies are doing this (and you thought you could only watch UFC fights at the movie theater!) and the possible effects it will have on performances. It's pretty interesting so check it out, here.
