Summer is slowly but steadily making its way toward us, which means that not only will the sun be blazing but our calendars will be healthily full. Today, the Los Angeles Philharmonic shared its summer schedule with plenty of events to mark on your 2022 planners. But this isn't any old summer for the city institution—the LA Phil is celebrating their centennial. From roots rock to new wave to reggae, they've got all the bases covered to celebrate 100 years.
Things kick off with the Hollywood Bowl Jazz Festival on June 25, which features The Roots, Gregory Porter, and Fantastic Negrito, among many others. The coming months also include Ricky Martin, Boys II Men and TLC, John Fogerty, a-ha, Parcels, Flying Lotus with Hiatus Kaiyote, Diana Ross, Duran Duran, and Grace Jones with CHVRCHES.
“There is truly no place like the Hollywood Bowl," Music and Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel said in a statement. “Nothing can compare to the feeling of performing there on a summer night, as our sound seems to pour out from the hills to the thousands of music lovers spread before us, gathered from everywhere in Los Angeles and around the world. We dedicate our programs in this 100th season to all the people who have made the Hollywood Bowl a part of their lives, year after year, and to the new generation, on our stage and in our audience, that is going to carry the magic of this place far into the future.”
