Deck the Hall! Holiday Concerts at The Walt Disney Concert Hall in DTLA
Like bears, it’s that time of year when the L.A. Phil leaves the great outdoors (The Hollywood Bowl) and move indoors (The Walt Disney Concert Hall).
Holiday Concerts at The Walt Disney Concert Hall
Both are incredible venues and have become true landmarks in the city of Los Angeles. The Hollywood Bowl opened in 1922, and the Frank Gehry designed Walt Disney Concert Hall opened in 2003. The Bowl holds about 18,000 music lovers, while the hall holds a cozy 2300 guests.
