CONCERT
The details of the concert are
being finalized. Check back here often for details
of the "Concert Under the Stars" as they
develop.
We have contracted for the
Hollywood Bowl Orchestra to perform. Originally
founded in 1945 as the Hollywood Bowl Symphony
Orchestra by the legendary Leopold Stokowski, the
ensemble disbanded two years later and was
replaced for Bowl concerts by the Los Angeles
Philharmonic. After 43 years, the orchestra was
re-established in 1991, as the Hollywood Bowl
Orchestra, under the direction of Founding
Director John Mauceri. The Hollywood Bowl
Orchestra performs in concerts at the Hollywood
Bowl, and has made recordings for Philips Classics
and toured throughout the world. The Hollywood
Bowl Orchestra gave its first public performances
on July 2, 3, and 4, 1991, at the Hollywood Bowl's
Independence Day fireworks concerts, winning both
critical and public acclaim. Since its inception,
the Orchestra has established a world-wide
reputation for high-class, high-voltage
music-making. For more information about the
Hollywood Bowl Orchestra click here.

Warner Bros., with film scenes projected on a big

his amazing singers, performing an extended medley
of all of his famous songs from the movies,
including “The Look of Love,” “Arthur,”
“What’s New Pussycat?” “Raindrops Keep
Fallin’ on My Head,” and “Alfie.”
