2008 Hollywood Bowl Orchestra

The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra has performed with the biggest names in music for the last ten years and has done several world tours, played the Hollywood Bowl regularly, and recorded albums on Phillips Classics. Led by musical director John Mauceri, the orchestra has translated the songs of Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and many pieces from popular films and Broadway shows. Performances include selections from the films Evita, Chicago, Batman, and Titanic.

The conception of the orchestra was in 1945 as the Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra and performances were held for two years until the Los Angeles Philharmonic took over concerts at the Hollywood Bowl. In 1991 the orchestra re-formed and has had help from many big names in the music industry. Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli and Charlotte Church are a few of the classical guests in recent performances. Pop music's representation has come from Tony Bennett, Harry Connick Jr., John Denver, Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks, as well as the groups The Moody Blues, The Chieftains and Peter, Paul and Mary, among others.

Seeing the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra live is an amazing experience and their world tour appearances, including Japan and Brazil, have received rave reviews from critics. The orchestra's most crowd pleasing concerts have been their yearly movie nights at the Hollywood Bowl where music is performed along with film clips, projected onto a huge screen, from the major movie studios Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, and Universal.

Tickets to see director John Mauceri and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra perform the most famous music in the world are guaranteed to sell out, so reserve your chance to enjoy an evening with a legendary orchestra that will provide an unforgettable evening.
