Deets: Gustavo Dudamel, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, global superstar Christina Aguilera, and additional special guests come together for a free concert recognizing the bravery and selflessness on display during the Los Angeles wildfires.

Known for her remarkable impact on pop music, Aguilera brings her powerhouse voice back to the Bowl, reuniting with Dudamel and the LA Phil for an extraordinary night honoring first responders and impacted community members.

Leading contemporary composer Gabriela Ortiz champions the idea that “music has the power to grant us access to the intangible, healing our wounds and binding us to what can only be expressed through sound.” The orchestra takes up this powerful calling with Ortiz’s celebratory Kauyumari, followed by Mahler’s poignant “love letter” and a selection of film-music favorites by the legendary John Williams.  

Gerald Clayton, the six-time Grammy-nominated pianist raised in Altadena, joins the LA Phil for Gershwin’s jazzy and intricate Variations on “I Got Rhythm,” the Palisades Charter High School Band helps kick off the evening with “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and more special guests (to be announced) perform additional symphonic classics. 

Hint for the Average Socialite: First responders can register for free tickets.

The April 1 program will be broadcast live on Classical California KUSC in LA on 91.5 and on KDFC in SF and streaming on our websites on https://www.kusc.org/ and https://www.kdfc.com/.
