On Thursday, July 1, 7 P.M., LACO travels to The Huntington in San Marino, to give the first live performance in Rothenberg Hall since it, too, was temporarily shut down due to the pandemic. The centerpiece of the program is the original 1915 version of de Falla’s extraordinary sung ballet El amor brujo conducted by Martín and featuring celebrated mezzo soprano, LA’s own Suzanna Guzmán. Martín also leads Debussy’s iconic Prélude à “L’après-midi d’un faune” and the world premiere of Kimani BridgesThe Flower.

“We can’t wait to see LACO’s dedicated fans and supporters back in the concert hall to express our gratitude to them,” says LACO Executive Director Ben Cadwallader. “We’ve been looking forward to this moment for such a long time and it’s a huge boost to the entire LACO family. We have also made it our absolute top priority to ensure that our audiences and musicians are safe as we resume live performances.”

This performance will be recorded and broadcast at a later date as part of LACO SummerFest, a digital series of professionally-mixed musical performance from state-of-the-art concert halls.

Attendance at the concerts will be limited, and LACO will observe all city, county and venue safety protocols. Audience members – composed of LACO-invited friends and family, vital community partners and others who have helped the Orchestra weather the pandemic – must have proof of vaccination.
