Hollywood Bowl Orchestra

The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra is composed of approximately 65 regular players, an international mix of classically trained musicians who are among the best studio musicians in Los Angeles. Many spend their days on Hollywood’s scoring stages. It might be surprising to learn that there is no overlap between the musicians of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and those of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra—another indicator that LA has a tremendous pool of musical talent.

One unforgettable summer. A movement that reshaped a generation. Experience the spirit of 1969 as we celebrate the groundbreaking music of Woodstock and the Harlem Cultural Festival in a powerful concert that brings era-defining anthems back to life. Bold, rebellious, and deeply human, this music became the heartbeat of change. From soul-stirring ballads to electrifying guitar riffs—blending rock, funk, and soul—award-winning vocalists join the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra for an evening that honors a time of protest, freedom, creativity, and cultural awakening. These were the songs that changed everything. And their message resonates now more than ever.
