Join the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music as we present a joint concert between the UCLA Philharmonia and visiting members of the Orquesta Escuela Carlos Chávez.

 

UCLA Philharmonia is the flagship orchestra of the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music and one of Southern California’s premiere training orchestras. Founded in 1936, Philharmonia's music directors have included Lukas Foss, Richard Dufallo, Mehli Mehta, Samuel Krachmalnick, Alexander Treger and Jon Robertson. 2023-24 marks the 18th season of Philharmonia's music director and UCLA’s director of orchestral studies, Neal Stulberg. Philharmonia's programming focuses on both the core symphonic and operatic repertoire, and the best in contemporary and rarely-performed works.

 

2023-2024 highlights include a special Halloween concert at Royce Hall, including a rare performance of Arnold Schoenberg’s “Accompaniment to a Film Scene: Threatening Danger; Fear; Catastrophe;” a joint performance with members of the Carlos Chávez Youth Orchestra of Mexico City; the 19th annual All-Star Concert; Philharmonia’s fourth appearance as the orchestra of Los Angeles’ Hear Now Music Festival, and the world premiere of UCLA Prof. Richard Danielpour’s opera, “The Grand Hotel Tartarus.”

 

UCLA Philharmonia’s three commercial CDs of music by Eric Zeisl, Mohammed Fairouz and Ian Krouse are available on iTunes, amazon.com, Naxos Music Library and other retail outlets.
