Green Umbrella New Music Series: The Great Wall of Los Angeles w/ Gustavo Dudamel, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Judy Baca, Gabriela Ortiz, & the Los Angeles Philharmonic

Inspired by Judy Baca’s mural , Gustavo Dudamel and Gabriela Ortiz bring together a group of composers—Juhi Bansal, Nicolás Lell Benavides, Viet Cuong, Estevan Olmos, Xavier Muzik, and Nina Shekhar—to create an hour-long symphonic tribute to Angelenos who have shaped this city’s history, featuring an original film by director Alejandro G. Iñárritu.

This performance is generously supported by the Hillenburg Family and the Bernice and Wendell Jeffrey Fund.

Commission support is generously provided by the Leaves of Grass Fund (A Lone Voice in the Darkness, Ladders), Leigha Kemmett and Jacob Goldstein (Westbound), Dody Dorn and Kevin Hughes (Sin Tierra Sin Voz), and Thy Bui and Kevin Wong (¡AGUAS!).
