Los Angeles Music Center, Performing arts center in Downtown Los Angeles, United States.
The Los Angeles Music Center is a cultural complex with four main venues: Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Ahmanson Theatre, and Mark Taper Forum. The buildings sit together downtown and house different types of performances throughout the year.
The center was founded in 1964 to strengthen performing arts in Los Angeles and establish the city as a cultural destination. In the decades that followed, it became the primary venue for theater and music across the entire region.
The center serves as a gathering place where artists and audiences from across the city come together to experience theater, music, and dance. These venues shape how Los Angeles residents connect with live performance and reveal which art forms matter most to the community.
Access to performances is available through different entrances that lead to each of the four venues. Parking is available nearby and the website provides details about accessibility and the layout of the entire complex.
The Walt Disney Concert Hall features a striking exterior of curved stainless steel that resembles sailboat forms. This distinctive shape also contributes to outstanding acoustics inside the performance space.
