Flypoet Summer Classic at Los Angeles Philharmonic

Every summer, the Flypoet Summer Classic brings spoken word’s heavy hitters together with a backing band for an evening of lyrical fire. The annual tradition has been called the “dopest spoken word + live music + art experience in the world.” Tune in for a few of our favorite performances on Thursday, October 1, at 6:30pm.

L.A.'s incredible cultural diversity has made The Ford's stage a window into the city, and throughout the next few weeks, we're sharing some of our favorite views with From The Ford. Mark your calendar, call your friends, and log on for amazing music, brilliant staging, and some of the finest artists from across L.A., with performance clips from some of our favorite collaborators.
