Philharmonic conducted by Gustavo Dudamel in his inaugural appearance as Music Director, down the block in the plaza of the Music Center, music lovers can enjoy the concert for free as the concert will be simulcast to eight plasma TV screens to an audience of about 3,000 who register online for a lottery-system ticket. Of course, you won’t be interested until you know the music to be performed by the LA Phil: John Adams’ “City Noir” and Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1.
Now that you are excited about the music and the new conductor, here are the details on getting in on the lottery for a ticket. Go to www.musiccenter.org/events/dudamel.html. At the end of the article “Catch the Passion on the Music Center Plaza” is a registration form. Fill out the form and submit for a maximum of two people per reservation request (that includes children, although those under eight years are probably too young). Deadline for registering is 6:00 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5. Notification will be by email on Oct. 6.
Pillows and blankets are welcome, but apparently not seats or strollers. Picnicking will be allowed, but hotdogs, burgers, tacos, snacks, beer and wine will be available for purchase.
