In his music to Egmont, Beethoven magnificently distilled the heroic tale of a Dutch warrior who gave his life to preserve freedom and independence in the face of oppression. "Beethoven has done wonders in matching music to text…,” remarked Egmont playwright Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Gustavo Dudamel leads the LA Phil in a narrated performance of Beethoven’s music for the play. Leading off the evening is the world premiere of Ricardo Lorenz’s Humboldt’s Nature, inspired by the South American travels of Beethoven’s like-minded contemporary, philosopher and naturalist Alexander von Humboldt. In between, piano sensation Yunchan Lim, winner of the 2022 Van Cliburn competition, performs Beethoven’s enchanting Second Piano Concerto.

A true multi-hyphenate, Seth MacFarlane is behind some of today’s most popular content in television, music, and film, but his profound appreciation for orchestral jazz and the legendary arrangers of popular song separate him from the rest. Backed by a world-class orchestra, he makes his Walt Disney Concert Hall debut in a night dedicated to the music of Frank Sinatra.

For the first time in his LA Phil tenure, Gustavo Dudamel brings together the massive choral and orchestral forces and even grander musical ideas of Beethoven’s Missa solemnis.“From my heart, may it go to the heart,” Beethoven wrote at the top of his “Solemn Mass,” and privately he told friends he believed it to be his best composition. Yet, the epic, near-90-minute testament of Beethoven’s faith grounded in human and Rationalist spirituality is a rarity in concert halls because of its ambitious scale, leading Beethoven biographer Jan Swafford to call it “one of the greatest pieces never heard.” With a stellar cast of soloists and 120 voices from Barcelona’s Orfeó Català chorus, Dudamel navigates the shifting landscapes of Beethoven’s transcendent and revelatory masterwork.

Revolución diamantina is Gabriela Ortiz’s bold response to the 2019 feminist uprising around Mexico’s epidemic of violence against women. Named after an event where protesters threw pink glitter at Mexico City’s chief of police to denounce the rape of a woman by local officers, “Ortiz’s atmospheric, percussion-rich score fizzes with a sense of restless unease” (BBC Music Magazine).

Hailed by critics and beloved by audiences, this eagerly anticipated revival transports you to Ancient Egypt in Philip Glass’s enthralling portrait of a trailblazing pharaoh. Countertenor John Holiday is the titular Akhnaten, determined to lead Egypt into a new age even as his plan to abandon the old gods puts his kingdom (and his life) in peril. Mezzo-soprano Sun-Ly Pierce is his queen Nefertiti, soprano So Young Park is the powerful dowager Queen Tye, and Grammy winner Zachary James reprises his memorable role as Amenhotep III, leading the audience through the ritualistic action on the stage.

Director Phelim McDermott revives his visually arresting production, replete with soaring acrobats, astonishing jugglers, and towering sets. With a libretto drawing on ancient texts like The Book of the Dead and a hypnotic, atmospheric score, Akhnaten portrays a doomed visionary with all his feats and foibles. Finland’s Dalia Stasevska makes her company debut conducting this tribute to one of the most transformative chapters in Egyptian history.

The first of the Master Chorale's commissioned world premieres this season is by five-time Emmy®-winning composer Jeff Beal, known for his scores for TV shows like House of Cards, Monk, and Rome, as well as films such as Pollock and Blackfish. Part of Common Ground: The Music of Górecki and Jeff Beal, Beal’s new work, The Beatitudes, will be paired with Henryk Górecki’s Miserere, a deeply moving piece inspired by the Polish Solidarity movement of the 1980s. Composed in 1981 as a protest against Soviet-backed government intervention, Miserere was not premiered until 1987 due to martial law. With just five words in its text—“Domine Deus noster, Miserere nobis” (“Lord our God, have mercy on us”)—Górecki creates an oasis of peace and compassion. The Chorale first performed Miserere in 2002 during Grant Gershon’s inaugural season as Artistic Director and recorded Miserere in 2013 for Decca.

The award-winning ensemble, featuring six of Britain’s finest consort singers, presents “Queen of Hearts,” a program of motets and chansons from the courts of Anne of Brittany, Margaret of Austria, Anne Boleyn and Mary Tudor spiced with short works from the present day. Gramophone Magazine described a recent performance as “Ingeniously programmed and impeccably delivered, with that undefinable excitement that comes from a group of musicians working absolutely as one.” “Queen of Hearts” is a musical Who’s Who of great European queens as portrayed in music of the sixteenth and twenty-first centuries.

Sleigh bells and sweet melodies tumble out from Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, painting a scene the composer compared to “a dewdrop on a flower that suddenly illuminated by the sun, bursts into a thousand lights and colors.” Former Dudamel Fellow Elim Chan leads the Los Angeles Philharmonic as they traverse a shifting atmosphere of mellow woodwinds, menacing trumpet calls, and eager timpani wallops, before approaching the gates of heaven.
