By: A.A. Cristi Nov. 29, 2017
The Los Angeles Philharmonic presents its Toyota Symphonies for Youth (TSFY) concerts for the 2017/18 season at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Designed for children ages 5 to 11, the Saturday 11 AM concerts are designed to introduce kids to the joys of classical music through the experience of live orchestra performance combined with the fantasy of theater. Each concert is preceded by a choice of workshops at 10 AM that incorporate art, dance, storytelling, and an instrument petting zoo.
Select TSFY concerts will be conducted by participants from the 2017/18 Dudamel Fellowship Program, created by Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel, together with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, in 2009 to provide a unique opportunity for promising young conductors from around the world to develop their craft and enrich their musical experience through personal mentorship and participation in the LA Phil's orchestral, education and community programs.
