The Music Center Stands Against All Hate and Terrorism
In these times, when many are being treated without regard for humanity, we must decry the use of brutality against innocent peoples, no matter their affiliation or nationality.
We grieve the many lives lost and join with our elected officials as well as community and religious leaders in uplifting our common humanity and seeking a path towards peace for Israelis and Palestinians.

Celebrate one of Broadway’s true icons with this legendary theatrical event! Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends is an irresistible celebration to the master himself, with a company headlined by none other than Tony Award® winners Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga. Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends comes to Broadway from London’s West End, where it sold out in a matter of hours, earned a bevy of five-star raves and was hailed by The Times as "unmissable musical theatre."
Center Theatre Group will present the North American premiere of Old Friends at the Ahmanson Theatre in advance of the Broadway premiere at the Manhattan Theatre Club on March 25, 2025.

Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto balances a flurry of piano trills and athletic runs with a more majestic noble character that perfectly suits Yefim Bronfman’s powerful and delicate approach, which is “distinguished by a powerful, muscular touch that made the intimacy of [Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto]’s more introspective moments even more alluring” (The New York Times). The Swiss conductor Philippe Jordan brings his own pianist’s ear to complement Bronfman with the LA Phil before he leads the orchestra through the emotional turbulence of Tchaikovsky’s passionate Sixth Symphony, filled with melancholy, longing, and brass chorales the composer described as putting his “whole soul into.
Concerts in the Thursday 2 subscription series are generously supported by the Otis Booth Foundation.

Please note: Due to the wildfires and high winds that have created a state of emergency in Los Angeles, the Schumann & Brahms performances scheduled for January 9 – 12 have been canceled.
Nathalie Stutzmann brings her unparalleled technique and elegance to two passionate Romantic works, “shock[ing] us into hearing something quite new in music we think we know” (Opera Today). Robert Schumann’s triumphant Second Symphony transforms the relentless drums and trumpets blaring in the composer’s mind into a heroic fanfare that frames the symphony intermixed with yearning adagio and whiplash scherzo. Brahms’ intense yet intimate Second Piano Concerto displays the composer’s more sophisticated side and limitless creativity, allowing pianist Sunwook Kim to confidently push the boundaries of tonality and “grasp every single nuance in the score with poise and natural ease” (The Guardian).
