Gustavo Dudamel's first 2007 performances mark his Walt Disney Concert Hall debut. Named "one of the most sought-after conductors of his generation," he was recently appointed Principal Conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, the National Orchestra of Sweden, starting in 2007/2008. In September 2006, he released his debut album for Deutsche Grammophon, conducting the Simon Bolivar National Youth Orchestra of Venezuela in of Beethoven's 5th and 7th Symphonies.
Yefim Bronfman, a Grammy and Avery Fisher Prize winner, is known for his commanding technique and exceptional lyricism. Highlights of Bronfman's 2005/06 season included a duo recital tour and recording for EMI with flutist Emmanuel Pahud, a tour of Germany with the Tonhalle Orchestra and David Zinman, a duo recording with Nikolaj Znaider for Sony BMG, and an appearance in Chicago with the Emerson Quartet. As a special project, he recorded Beethoven's 3rd and 4th Piano Concertos and the Triple Concerto with violinist Gil Shaham, cellist Truls Mork, and the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich under David Zinman as the first in a series of the complete Beethoven concertos for the Arte Nova/BMG label. In 1991 he gave a series of joint recitals with Isaac Stern in Russia, marking Bronfman's first public performances there since his emigration to Israel at age 15. That same year he was awarded the prestigious Avery Fisher Prize, one of the highest honors given to American instrumentalists. As an exclusive Sony Classical recording artist, he won a Grammy award in 1997 for his recording of the three Bartok Piano Concertos with Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Each year since its founding in 1919, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has been hailed as Southern California's leading performing arts institution. Today, under the dynamic leadership of Esa-Pekka Salonen, 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, and a 12-week summer festival at the legendary Hollywood Bowl, where "Music Under the Stars" has been a popular tradition since 1922.
