FREE NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERT PERFORMED BY THE LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC AT THE CALIFORNIA AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM

The harmonic sounds of philanthropy will echo throughout Exposition Park as the California African American Museum (CAAM) host a FREE neighborhood concert with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Friday, March 16, 2012, from 7:30 p.m. – 9 p.m.   LA Philharmonic will perform Tchaikovsky 5th Symphony, a tragic to triumphant sound of four movements, conducted by Courtney Lewis.  Taking place in CAAM’s Sculpture court, seats are expected to fill up quickly, so RSVPs are strongly encouraged. 

 

Conductor Courtney Lewis is a hand-selected participant of the Dudamel Fellowship program, which gives each participating Fellow the opportunity to develop his/her craft and enrich his/her musical experience through personal mentorship and participation in the LA Phil’s orchestral and education programs. Lewis is recognized as one of today’s top emerging talents and is founder and music director of Boston’s acclaimed Discovery Ensemble, a chamber orchestra with the mission of introducing inner-city school children to classical music, while bringing new and unusual repertoire to established concert audiences.

 

CAAM’s doors and galleries open at 6:45 p.m., with exhibitions on view followed by the sounds of classical music. “CAAM is excited to have the Los Angeles Philharmonic in our house. CAAM offers an array of cultural experiences that provide opportunities to explore different arts,” says executive director Charmaine Jefferson.   To RSVP call (213) 744-2024 and for more information visit www.caamuseum.org.  Door entries accepted.
