The Los Angeles Philharmic is not your classic orchestra. Sure, they can play Bach and Beethoveen with the rest of them, but they really know what they are doing in regards to reaching out to the younger population. They have a series of living music (ie they place music by composers who are not dead white guys), they advertise on TV and on real radio stations (like KROQ) and they perform with really neat bands such as the CHeiftains and Counting Crows! Weather it is in the Bowl or Disney Hall an evening at the Phil does not have to be a yawn fest -- it can actually be fun!
