Holiday Celebration Dec 24 at Music Center
Each year, The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors provides a gift to the community through its Los Angeles Arts Commission by supporting the staging of a cultural extravaganza on the stage of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at the Music Center in downtown Los Angeles on Dec. 24. This year, the 50th annual celebration of the Emmy-nominated holiday show, begins at 3:00 p.m. and continues to 9:00 p.m. with 40 music organizations performing.
There are five ways to enjoy this presentation: by attending in person at the Music Center; watching on television on KCET-TV; see the live streaming broadcast on computer at www.kcet.org; or tune into KPFK, 90.7 FM; or watch a re-telecast on KCET-TV beginning at 7:00 p.m. To attend in person, doors will open at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at 2:00 p.m., seating is free and you may come and go as you like during the six hours of music. Parking at the Music Center is also free. No reservations or tickets are necessary—it is a real gift.
