Conrad Tao brings his “fierce technique and footloose grace” (San Francisco Chronicle) to Gershwin’s jazzy classic, followed by Shostakovich’s power-packed Fifth.
The bright and brassy horns of Oakland’s Tower of Power blasted to the forefront of funk and soul in the 1970s team up with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band playing bombastic hot jazz in a tiny dance hall tucked away in the French Quarter.
Russian Romanticism meets Armenian passion. Mussorgsky’s musical gallery visit, rendered expressively through Ravel’s colorful orchestration, is a lasting tribute to an artistic life. Written as a tribute to the painter Victor Hartmann, a dear friend of the composer who died prematurely, the piece transports us from scenes of the countryside to the majestic Great Gate of Kyiv.

The Hollywood Bowl has a standard seating capacity of 17,500. While some sources describe the venue as accommodating nearly 18,000 guests, 17,500 is the generally accepted figure for its fixed seating configuration. The exact total can vary slightly depending on the type of event, stage setup, or temporary adjustments made for specific performances.
The Hollywood Bowl traces its origins to 1919, when the Theatre Arts Alliance purchased a 59-acre site in Bolton Canyon for $47,500. Originally known as “Daisy Dell,” the area was a shaded picnic spot prized for its natural amphitheater shape and strong acoustics. It was especially favored by the founders, including William and H. Ellis Reed, who recognized its potential as an outdoor performance venue. The Hollywood Bowl officially opened on July 11, 1922, beginning modestly with nothing more than a simple wooden platform and a canvas top.
