The pinnacle of culture and beauty in the city.
If music be the food of love, play on. Indeed, the wonderful events held here and the sheer beauty of the place have caused many visitors to fall in love with the Los Angeles Music Center. Ever since it opened its doors 50 years ago, the Music Center has turned the city of Los Angeles into a cultural hub, and captured the public’s imagination with its beautiful, dreamy architecture. And don’t be mistaken: The Center is not just a single building, but consists a complex of pavilions and halls that collectively provide a beautiful space for the arts. Most famous of all these is of course the Walt Disney Concert Hall, with a façade that consists of huge steel panels wrapped around each other to create a malleable effect. Thanks to its reflective quality, the surfaces of the Concert Hall gleam in the sunlight, creating a luminescent effect that make the structure feel as light as air.

Today, her efforts continue to propel the Music Center towards new heights, and will definitely inspire in you a renewed passion for the arts.
