L.A. Phil’s Gustavo Dudamel returns to the Bowl for a short concert run
Next week, Gustavo Dudamel, who recently left as music director for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, is coming back to the Hollywood Bowl.
Since his debut as music director in 2009, Dudamel has been a prominent figure in Los Angeles’ classical music scene. However, he will be leaving his position here soon to take up a new role leading the New York Philharmonic. Unfortunately, due to recent federal travel bans on Venezuelan citizens, Dudamal had to cancel local performances with his Simón Bolivar Symphony Orchestra scheduled for August. Additionally, he planned only one week for conducting during this year’s summer season at the Bowl.
By using more common phrases and simplifying some of the complex sentence structures, I hope to make the text easier to understand without losing any crucial information.
On the opening night of the Bowl during the current season, Mark Swed from The Times described it as an event that, while boasting a pleasant ambiance, seemed fittingly subdued for the prevailing mood of our times.

Empty seats, no Dudamel: L.A. Phil opens its Hollywood Bowl season on somber notes
Kicking off the Hollywood Bowl season, the L.A. Philharmonic Orchestra presents an array of Russian tunes under the baton of Thomas Sondergard. Additionally, renowned pianist Kirill Gerstein takes center stage to perform works by Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev.
This coming week, when he’s back for a visit following a varied trip, will provide a delightful opportunity to catch up with him during his final days in Los Angeles.
On August 5th, Dudamel, joined by pianist Seong-Jin Cho, is set to conduct a captivating performance that blends compositions from jazz titan Duke Ellington and French composer Maurice Ravel. The program will feature Ellington’s “Harlem” and “Black, Brown and Beige”, as well as Ravel’s Piano Concert for the Left Hand and Piano Concert in G Major. This unique collaboration aims to illustrate how American jazz and the Harlem Renaissance sparked innovation and broadened the horizons of Ravel and European music during that period.
On August 7, he’ll continue with Mahler’s grand Symphony No. 1 “Titan,” featuring Vilde Frang on the violin playing Erich Korngold’s concerto, which shines a light on a legendary Hollywood score composer from a bygone era. From August 8-9, Dudamel will lead the orchestra in performing John Williams’ popular “Jurassic Park” soundtrack, accompanying a live screening of the blockbuster movie.
Recently, Dudamel made his debut at Coachella with the L.A. Philharmonic in a highly anticipated collaboration with popular artists such as Dave Grohl, Zedd, Laufey, and LL Cool J. For music enthusiasts in Los Angeles who wish to witness Dudamel perform at the Bowl before he leaves after the 2024 season, these are some of the prime opportunities to catch him live in 2025.
