Experience a concert of live classical music and songs celebrating love in its many forms.

The concert opens with the heart-pounding “Bacchanale” from the opera Samson and Delila, depicting a party of drunken revelry and seduction. The Los Angeles Philharmonic calls it an “orgiastic, percussion-driven dance,” and one music critic described it as “a full-on nightclub banger…[that] just happened to be written in 1877.”
