The Los Angeles Philharmonic announced that all performances at Walt Disney Hall have been cancelled through June 9, 2021. The elimination of the entire season of works wipes out over 100 events, ranging from September through early June of next year.

Beyond traditional philharmonic performances, shows featuring Herbie Hancock, Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra and Snarky Puppy are among those called off in the wake of COVID-19 and the struggle to run live events amid widespread restrictions on live entertainment by government authorities.

“While this news may not be surprising in this climate, it is heartbreaking to keep our venues silent and not be able to share in the experience of live music with you,” reads a statement announcing the cancellation posted to laphil.com.

Subscribers have the option of moving their packages to the 2021-22 season, with the organization hoping that most choose not to request refunds in light of the enormous financial pressures the continuing halt on performances is bringing. A plea for donations to support the beleaguered arts organization is included at the bottom of the post announcing the cancellations. “Along with moving your subscription to 2021/22, please consider to help support the LA Phil and Learning programs like YOLA, which have continued to serve children in under-resourced communities throughout this crisis,” the site reads. “Between the concert cancelations at Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl this year, the LA Phil has lost approximately $105M as a result of the pandemic. We need your support to help sustain our work during this period, as we continue to realize Music and Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel’s vision of music for all.

While in-person performances are shut down, the organization continues to share music online and find new ways to engage its audience.

What is the LA Phil doing during this time?

The LA Phil is continuing to share its music online and on the air. In September we launched the first season of , a series of short concert films recorded on the stage of the Hollywood Bowl. We are excited to announce the second season will kick off in early January. On January 15, , which ran on KCET and PBS SoCal in the Los Angeles area this summer will be given a national run. Our newest venue, The Ford launched a fully featuring performances, workshops, and summits with some of Los Angeles’ most exciting artists.
