Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra

From: The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008 | Copyright information

Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra founded in 1919 by William Andrews Clark, Jr. After his death the Southern California Symphony Association was formed in 1934 to sponsor the orchestra. It was housed in Philharmonic Auditorium from 1920 until 1964, when it moved to the newly constructed Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in the Music Center of Los Angeles County. The orchestra holds summer concerts in the Hollywood Bowl, which seats 20,000 people. Music directors have included Otto Klemperer (1933-39), Alfred Wallenstein (1943-56), Eduard van Beinum (1956-59), Zubin Mehta (1962-78), Carlo Maria Giulini (1978-84), and André Previn (1984-89). Previn remained as conductor until 1992, when Esa-Pekka Salonen became music director.
