The LA Phil and Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel celebrated the orchestra’s 100-year anniversary with an historic Centennial Birthday Celebration on October 24, 2019, at Walt Disney Concert Hall. The event, held on the very day of the orchestra’s first performance 100 years earlier, featured all three living LA Phil music directors – Dudamel, Conductor Emeritus Zubin Mehta, and Conductor Laureate Esa-Pekka Salonen – leading the orchestra.
