Today, under the dynamic leadership of Esa-Pekka Salonen (1), who became the orchestra's tenth music director in 1992, the Philharmonic is recognized as one of the world's outstanding orchestras. Both at home and abroad it has, as the Berliner Zeitung stated, "...proved that it belongs among the best in the United States." This is a view shared by the more than one million Southern Californians who experience performances by the Los Angeles Philharmonic each year. There is a 30-week winter subscription season at the Walt Disney Concert Hall (2), and a 12-week summer festival at the legendary Hollywood Bowl (3), where "Music Under the Stars" has been a popular tradition since 1922. But the Orchestra's involvement with Los Angeles extends far beyond regular symphony concerts in a concert hall. It embraces the schools, churches, and neighborhood centers of a huge and vastly diverse community. In fact, the Los Angeles Philharmonic devotes much of its energy and resources to ensuring that its presence is felt in every corner of Los Angeles. The Philharmonic owes its birth to William Andrews Clark, Jr., a multi-millionaire and amateur musician, who established the city's first permanent symphony orchestra in 1919. The 94 musicians of the new ensemble met for their first rehearsal Monday morning, October 13 of that year, under the direction of Walter Henry Rothwell, whom Clark had brought from the St. Paul (Minnesota) Symphony Orchestra. Eleven days later, Rothwell conducted the Orchestra's premiere performance before a capacity audience of 2,400 at Trinity Auditorium (4) in downtown Los Angeles. Following its opening season in 1919-1920, the Orchestra made Philharmonic Auditorium (5-6), on the northeast corner of Fifth and Olive, its home for the next 44 years. Mr. Rothwell remained the Orchestra's music director until his death in 1927. Since then, nine renowned conductors have served in that capacity: • Georg Schnéevoigt (1927 -1929) Since its first season, the Philharmonic has made downtown Los Angeles its winter home. It was in December 1964 that it began its residency at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Music Center of Los Angeles County (7-8). Today, the Philharmonic looks forward to another move, to what will be the fourth performing venue in the Music Center complex -- the stunning, Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall (9) -- upon its projected completion in the fall of 2003.
