The Los Angeles Philharmonic is an orchestra based in Los Angeles, California, USA. From 1964-2003, the orchestra played its concerts in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Los Angeles Music Center. Beginning in the fall of 2003, it plays in the Walt Disney Concert Hall. In the summer months, it performs at the Hollywood Bowl, an outdoor venue.
It was founded in 1919 by William Andrews Clark, Jr. with Walter Henry Rothwell as its conductor. It played its first concert in the same year, eleven days after its first rehearsal.
