The Performing Arts Center of Los Angeles County, often called simply, the Music Center, is one of the three largest performing arts centers in the nation. Located in downtown Los Angeles, the Music Center is home to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Ahmanson Theater, Mark Taper Forum, and Walt Disney Concert Hall. Each year, the Music Center welcomes more than 2.3 million people to performances by its four internationally renowned performing arts companies: Los Angeles Philharmonic, Center Theatre Group (CTG), L.A. Opera and Los Angeles Master Chorale.
History
Origin
In March of 1955, Mrs. Dorothy Chandler began fundraising toward a permanent home for the Philharmonic. Ultimately, Mrs. Chandler raised almost $20 million in private donations; Los Angeles County provided the site and raised the remaining $14 million using mortgage revenue bonds.
The rest of the complex was completed in April of 1967.[1] The additional venues, the Mark Taper Forum and Ahmanson Theatre, were dedicated on April 19 and 12, 1967, respectively.[2]
When the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion opened its doors on December 6, 1964, the twenty-eight year old Zubin Mehta led the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a program that featured violinist Jascha Heifetz, performances of Strauss' Fan Fare, and Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major. The Mark Taper Forum, was famous for "scandalizing the power structure of Los Angeles," according to its artistic director Gordon Davidson, with its provocative opening production of John Whiting's The Devils. The Ahmanson Theatre opened with a performance of the Man of La Mancha by the Civic Light Opera. The first dramatic season at the Ahmanson featured Ingrid Bergman in O'Neill's More Stately Mansions, signaling its intent to marry big-name playwrights with big-name stars.
Over the last thirty-eight years, the Music Center has seen the American debuts of Simon Rattle and Esa-Pekka Salonen, the world premieres of The Shadow Box, Zoot Suit, Children of a Lesser God, and Angels in America at the Taper, and performances by Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn, Katharine Hepburn, and Maggie Smith at the Ahmanson. The Philharmonic and L.A. Master Chorale joined forces to provide the accompaniment to Eisenstein's restored silent film classic, Alexander Nevsky. While the Civic Light Opera's last season at the Music Center was in 1987, the Los Angeles Music Center Opera was formed in 1986. Its productions have included Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, directed by Jonathan Miller and designed by David Hockney.
Peace on Earth
On Sunday afternoon, May 4, 1969, Peace on Earth by Jacques Lipchitz was dedicated. His sculpture portrays a dove descending to earth with the spirit of peace, symbolized by the Madonna standing inside a tear shaped canopy, supported by a base of reclining lambs. Lawrence E. Deutsch and Lloyd Rigler donated $250,000 to commission a work for the fountain.
The architects of the Music Center, Welton Becket and Associates, opposed placing sculpture in the plaza between the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and the Mark Taper Forum. However, after a two year search, the Art Committee of the Music Center commissioned Lipchitz. Today, no work of public art in Los Angeles is more photographed.[3]
The Dance Door
The Dance Door, a bronze sculpture, was created in 1978, by Robert Graham and donated to the Music Center in 1982, by Frederick and Marcia Weisman. Dance Door consists of an ornamented life-size bronze door, hinged on a bronze frame and locked in an open position. The door itself is hollow centered and composed of approximately 7 welded case panels on each side. Abstracted figures of dancers are cast in low relief on the door panels.[4]
Construction of Walt Disney Concert Hall
On October 23, 2003, the Music Center opened the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, expanding the campus to 11 acres. The 2,265-seat Concert Hall is home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. Walt Disney Concert Hall includes the 266-seat Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT) and outdoor program areas including the W.M. Keck Foundation Children’s Amphitheatre, seating 250-300, and the Nadine and Ed Carson amphitheater, seating 120.[5]
Current governance and administration
The Music Center is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by John Emerson (2003). Center President and Chief Operating Officer is Stephen D. Rountree (2002). The County of Los Angeles owns the Music Center and provides funding for its maintenance, operations, grounds-keeping, security, and ushers. Revenue from the operation of the Center garage offsets these expenses. The Music Center and the four performing arts companies are responsible for the productions presented in the theaters. The Music Center maintains and operates the buildings and the grounds and oversees occupancy of the theaters, restaurant facilities, and the Music Center Archives.
Performing Arts Venues
The four main venues of the complex (which also includes some smaller theaters and outdoor amphitheaters) are:
- Dorothy Chandler Pavilion: 3,197 seats
- Mark Taper Forum: 745 seats
- Ahmanson Theatre: 1,600 to 2,007 seats, depending on configuration
- Walt Disney Concert Hall: 2,265 seats
Resident companies
The complex has four resident companies:
- Center Theatre Group

Education
Since its inception in 1979, Music Center and Family Programs has served more than 16 million and currently serves nearly 1 million students and teachers each year. The Music Center believes the arts enhance the lives of all people and are crucial to the development of every child. The Music Center-designed curriculum materials are included in art textbooks published by McGraw Hill in use across the country.
Education and Family Programs events include World City, Pillow Theatre, Performing Books, the Chandler Children’s Festival, the Family Festival, the Very Special Arts Festival, the Spotlight Awards, and the Bravo Awards.
Active arts
Launched in July 2004, and designed to expand the public’s experience associated with the performing arts, Active Arts at the Music Center extends beyond the more formal experience associated with performing arts centers. Active Arts programs engage people from diverse backgrounds and experiences and establishes an ongoing series of admission-free or low-cost recreational art-making events that encourage people to sing, dance, play music, and tell stories together just for the sheer enjoyment and love of the art.
Active Arts programs cut across cultural boundaries and encourage people to participate for the sole purpose of art-making and include Dance Downtown, Drum Downtown, A Taste of Dance, Get Your Chops Back, Friday Night Sing-Along, and Jingle Bell Sing.
Dance at the Music Center
Over the past five years, the Music Center has developed an ambitious dance presentation program, which has established a distinguished reputation—locally, nationally, and internationally. The endeavor began in 2000, with the Music Center’s sold-out presentation of the Bolshoi Ballet in its historic production of Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet, as well as new interpretation of Don Quixote.
Since then, the Music Center has presented a broad array of ensembles, including New York City Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Beijing Modern Dance Company, Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Kirov Ballet of the Mariinsky Theatre, Nuevo Ballet Español, Miami City Ballet, and Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg.

- The Blue Ribbon, founded by Mrs. Chandler in 1968, has a membership of more than 625 women who champion the performing arts and make substantial financial contributions to the Center's community programs and its resident companies annually.
- Club 100, founded in 1976, is a group of dynamic professional and civic-minded women who promote the Center's goals through education, advocacy and fundraising. Club 100 sponsors the annual BRAVO Awards, which recognize exemplary arts educators.
