He is the second most-nominated individual with 53 Academy Award nominations, (Walt Disney remains the most nominated person). His music is the epitome of many memorable films with recognizable soundtracks.

Las Vegas Philharmonic Music Director Donato Cabrera will conduct as he celebrates his tenth and final season with the orchestra during the 2023-24 season. Cabrera has dramatically changed the Las Vegas Philharmonic's concert experience with orchestral concerts, hosting engaging and lively pre-concert conversations with guest artists and composers. He also created the Spotlight Concert series featuring the Las Vegas Philharmonic musicians in intimate chamber music performances.

The Las Vegas Philharmonic established its presence in Southern Nevada in 1998 to inspire a lifelong appreciation of music. This includes performances to enhance residents' lives and the city's culture. At the orchestra's core are 76 contracted professional musicians, many of whom are educators who also perform in other professional productions in Las Vegas. As a 501(c)(3) organization, the Philharmonic's community, education, and artistic programs are made possible by individuals' and corporations' generous donations and support.
