LOS ANGELES (FEBRUARY 4, 2014) – The Los Angeles Philharmonic Association today

announced the Hollywood Bowl summer 2014 subscription series and single events for its

93rd season at the historic venue. The Hollywood Bowl – named “Best Major Outdoor

Concert Venue” by Pollstar magazine for the ninth straight year – is one of the most

renowned summer cultural venues in the world and has been the summer home of the Los

Angeles Philharmonic since 1922.

The 2014 summer season spans 15 weeks, from June to September, and features a wide

variety of the world’s greatest artists from all genres of music, with the Los Angeles

Philharmonic at its core. New subscriptions for the Hollywood Bowl 2014 summer season are

available starting today, and the Hollywood Bowl box office opens for single ticket sales on

Sunday, May 4.

“The 2014 Hollywood Bowl summer season presents an extraordinary array of music in one

of the world’s most iconic musical venues,” said Deborah Borda, LA Phil President and Chief

Executive Officer. “The opening of the Hollywood Bowl each year marks the official start of

summer for generations of music lovers across Los Angeles. This year is particularly special

as Gustavo Dudamel celebrates his fifth season as Music Director at the venue where he

made his U.S. debut. He returns with an all-Beethoven program; the third installation of his

signature festival, Americas & Americans, with programs that showcase popular and

classical music as well as film composers from North and South America; and of course, his

summer appearances include opera – this time two of the great Italian operas - Cavalleria

rusticana and Pagliacci. Esa-Pekka Salonen makes a rare visit, and we delight in the return

of dear friends, including Joshua Bell, Yo-Yo Ma, Steve Martin and John Williams.

Anniversaries abound with the 15th year of the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame Opening Night,

the 20th anniversary of DreamWorks Animation and the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ first

Hollywood Bowl performance. Herbie Hancock, entering his fifth season as Creative Chair for

Jazz, and Thomas Wilkins, Principal Guest Conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, also

return, collaborating with some of the world’s greatest musicians. The season begins when,

under the Philharmonic umbrella for the first time, we present the Playboy Jazz Festival.

There is something here for everyone, and we look forward to welcoming you back this

summer.”

LA PHIL MUSIC DIRECTOR GUSTAVO DUDAMEL’S

HOLLYWOOD BOWL APPEARANCES Holder of the Walt and Lilly Disney Chair, Music Director Gustavo Dudamel, in his fifth

summer season under the stars, conducts an all-Beethoven evening; brings together music

from both sides of the hemisphere in his signature festival, Americas & Americans; and

leads a one-night-only double-bill of Italian opera, Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana and

Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci.

The week of July 22, Dudamel is joined by a French trio - Renaud Capuçon, violin; Gautier

Capuçon, cello; and Jean-Yves Thibaudet, piano - in an all-Beethoven program opening with

the composer’s Triple Concerto, and concluding with Symphony No. 5. This performance

marks Gautier Capuçon’s debut at the Hollywood Bowl.

Americas & Americans, a festival first presented during Dudamel’s inaugural 2009/10

season at Walt Disney Concert Hall and revived at the Bowl in 2012, exemplifies his vision

of one American culture across continents. To open his week, Dudamel conducts a special

evening of song and dance, with details forthcoming. Turning an eye towards the influence

of cinematic music, Americas & Americans continues with Noche De Cine, celebrating film

composers from North and South America including Gustavo Santaolalla (Babel, Amores

perros, The Motorcycle Diaries) and a suite from Dudamel’s own score to Libertador. In a

very special weekend program, Latin pop pioneer Gloria Estefan joins the festival with

performances that serves up her hits and classics from the Cuban and American songbooks.

The festival kicks off on July 23 with a program of Latin Jazz.

Gustavo continues to share his lifelong passion for opera with a special night of Italian

masterpieces, Cavalleria rusticana and Pagliacci. The Los Angeles Philharmonic is joined by

the Los Angeles Master Chorale and Los Angeles Children’s Chorus, and stellar casts that

include Stuart Neill, Michelle DeYoung, Julianna Di Giacomo, Christopher Maltman, Tamara

Mumford and Susan Bickley.

THE BOWL WALK

Developed as part of the renovations in the 2004 Hollywood Bowl Shell Project, The Bowl

Walk is a 10-station exhibit around the grounds of the Hollywood Bowl, a Los Angeles

County Park, which beckons visitors to view the venue outside and around the theater. The

exhibit features visual displays throughout the park, presenting information on the cultural

events, history and architecture of the legendary natural amphitheater. The Walk begins at

the entrance of the Bowl (on Peppertree Lane) and concludes inside the theater on the

Fourth Promenade at the top of the hill.

A map of the Bowl Walk can be found at the Hollywood Bowl Museum or

http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/visit/hollywood-bowl-museum/bowl-walk

Ten photographic displays along the pedestrian walkways guide visitors through the park:

The Muse of Music, Peppertree Lane, Pop & Rock at the Hollywood Bowl, Great

Performances, The Shell, The Amphitheater, The Cahuenga Pass Treasure, Flora & Fauna of

the Hollywood Bowl, Picnics & Fireworks, and The View from the Fourth Prom. An accessible

sign fixed in the plaza area, near the Box Office and The Bowl Store, includes Walk

information for patrons with disabilities. The exhibit design is by Hodgetts+Fung. The Bowl

Walk was generously funded by California State Parks Bond Act of 2000 through the Los

Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation.

EDMUND D. EDELMAN HOLLYWOOD BOWL MUSEUM

The Edmund D. Edelman Hollywood Bowl Museum, located on the grounds of the 88-acre

county park, provides a living history of the world-famous venue through a permanent

multimedia presentation and themed exhibits.

LIVE FROM THE BOWL!

Continuing for the 2014 Hollywood Bowl summer season is “Live From The Bowl!” an exhibit

of films, videos and recordings of live concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, and the changing

media technology that has developed and altered dramatically during the Hollywood Bowl’s

92-year history. From an early Victor “talking machine” of the 1920s to a hi-fi component

system of the 60s, live recordings and videos are displayed in individual environments, in

the style of each era, such as:

A 1920s-style ladies dressing room features the very first commercial recording ever

made of a symphony orchestra outdoors - the 1928 RCA Victor album with Eugene

Goossens conducting the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra (made up of members of the Los

Angeles Philharmonic). Selections from the album play on a 1926 Victor “Bluebird”

Victrola.

To represent the dozens of concerts that have been broadcast live from the Bowl -

including classical concerts, benefits, and memorials - a 1930s-era parlor features a

1936 Philco “tombstone” radio playing Fred Astaire’s “They Can’t Take That Away

From Me,” from a CBS broadcast live from the Bowl.

The first national television broadcast from the Hollywood Bowl is represented by an

RCA KCS47 black & white TV playing a clip of The Colgate Comedy Hour (1954).

For the 1960s, the “Mad Men” era is demonstrated by a sophisticated bachelor pad

complete with a high fidelity component system - turntable, amps, pre-amps,

woofers and tweeters - all playing an LP of the Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra.

A teenage bedroom of the 1970-80s features clips from The Brady Bunch and Monty

Python at the Hollywood Bowl, as well as audio from popular artists such as Miles

Davis and Pink Floyd.

The modern-day digital age brought many live-concert DVD releases, some of which

are featured in the exhibit, including Van Morrison, Aerosmith, DJ Shadow & Cut

Chemist, Mariachi USA, the Korean Festival, and the webcast of Gustavo Dudamel’s

2009 welcome as Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Bienvenido

Gustavo.

BEATLES AT THE BOWL

To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles’ first performance at the Hollywood

Bowl, the Hollywood Bowl Museum will have a special "Beatles at the Bowl" exhibit on the

2nd floor featuring original photographs of the Fab Four at the Bowl, film footage, and

memorabilia.

MUSIC FOR EVERYONE

Taking its cue from a Bowl slogan from the 1950s, the main floor permanent exhibit at the

Hollywood Bowl Museum is called “Hollywood Bowl: Music For Everyone.” This exhibit is

organized into sections on dance; pop, rock, jazz and world music; symphonic music and

opera; architecture and history of the Bowl; and the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame. Video

screens are an integral part of the exhibit, featuring hundreds of still photos and extensive

film footage.

HALL OF FAME

The Museum is also home to the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame. Visitors can watch videos of

all the inductees including John Williams, Garth Brooks, Stevie Wonder, Brian Wilson, Henry

Mancini, Sarah Chang, Bernadette Peters, Frank Sinatra, and many more.

Summer hours (June 22 - September 29): Tuesday - Saturday, 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM and
