Los Angeles Philharmonic

UBS is a season long sponsor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The LA Philharmonic is known as one of the leading innovative and progressive Orchestras in the U.S. At the conclusion of the 2008-09 season, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Music Director of the LA Philharmonic for the past 17 seasons inclusive, will officially pass the baton to up and coming conductor Gustavo Dudamel. With his youthful vibrancy and dynamic musical personality he is suitably charged to lead this charismatic group of musicians in the orchestra's quest for cutting edge entertainment in a cutting edge city.

Designed by architect Frank Gehry, Walt Disney Concert Hall, the new home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, is designed to be one of the most acoustically sophisticated concert halls in the world, providing both visual and aural intimacy for an unparalleled musical experience. From the stainless steel curves of its striking exterior to the state-of-the-art acoustics of the hardwood-paneled main auditorium, the 3.6-acre complex embodies the unique energy and creative spirit of the city of Los Angeles and its orchestra.
