The Los Angeles Philharmonic Association has announced the 2024 Hollywood Bowl summer season, which will feature performances from Laufey, Camilo, Beck, Natalia Lafourcade, a Juneteenth event led by T-Pain, a 100th birthday celebration for Henry Mancini, July Fourth Fireworks Spectacular with Harry Connick Jr. and more.
Running from June to September at the landmark amphitheater in the Hollywood Hills, the lineup kicks off with a 100th birthday celebration for 20-time Grammy winner Henry Mancini.
Among artists making their Hollywood Bowl debuts this summer are jazz artist Laufey performing with the LA Phil, singer-songwriting Mitski and six-time Latin Grammy-winner Camilo.
Playing the venue once more are artists including Pink Martini featuring China Forbes, The Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes, Boyz II Men and violinists Joshua Bell and Augustin Hadelich, as well as LA Phil Conductor Emeritus Zubin Mehta, who will return for his first performance at the Hollywood Bowl in 30 years. Also back this season is the traditional Tchaikovsky Spectacular, as well as the Hollywood Bowl Jazz Festival co-curated by Kamasi Washington and LA Phil Creative Chair for Jazz Herbie Hancock, which returns for its third year.
Other sure highlights include Beck doing a one-night performance with the LA Phil; the very first West Coast Roots Picnic hip-hop tribute featuring The Roots, Queen Latifah, Common, Digable Planets, Arrested Development, The Pharcyde, Black Sheep, and more.
The season will also include the world debut of the highly anticipated Marvel Studios’ Infinity Saga Concert Experience.
The LA Phil will be led by Gustavo Dudamel, LA Phil Conductor Emeritus Zubin Mehta, and more than 15 outstanding guest conductors, including Teddy Abrams, David Afkham, Ryan Bancroft, Rodolfo Barráez, Lionel Bringuier, Elim Chan, Kevin John Edusei, François López-Ferrer, Carlos Miguel Prieto, Christian Reif, Steven Reineke, David Robertson, Dima Slobodeniouk, Otto Tausk and Xian Zhang. The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra will be conducted by its Principal Conductor, Thomas Wilkins, as well as guest conductor Sarah Hicks.
“This year, I celebrate my 15th summer at the Hollywood Bowl,” Gustavo Dudamel said in the announcement. “The Bowl has always been a place that transports us to new and different musical worlds, and this season will take us on some truly wonderful journeys together. From Beethoven and Bernstein’s musical explorations of joy to the farthest edges of the Marvel multiverse. From the whimsical march through the Carnival of the Animals to the deeply personal songs of Natalia Lafourcade, the Hollywood Bowl is a stage where the past and present come together to carry us toward a more beautiful future.”
