The LA Phil continues its series of free neighborhood concerts! By bringing live classical music directly to audiences across the county, this series builds, deepens, and diversifies our relationships with local music lovers.<\/p>\n
This program is anchored by Tchaikovsky\u2019s Serenade, an enchanting piece that demonstrates the composer pouring his entire being into the music. He said it simply came \u201cfrom an inward impulse.\u201d The piece opens with an elegant tribute to Tchaikovsky\u2019s favorite composer, Mozart, before transitioning into a stunning waltz, a moody elegy, and finally, a lively finale that draws on Russian folk tunes.<\/p>\n
Miguel Sep\u00falveda, one of the LA Phil\u2019s four 2025\/26 Dudamel Fellows, leads the orchestra in the Serenade, as well as Gabriela Ortiz\u2019s symphonic sketch of dancing skeletons and a brand-new piece by former LA Phil Composer Fellow Noah Godard.<\/p>\n

Best known for her Grammy-nominated album\u00a0La Serenata<\/em>, the singer-songwriter carries on the legacy of her grandfather, Pedro Infante\u2014one of the most beloved Mexican singers and actors of the 20th century.<\/p>\n Be sure to take your seat at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the concert.
