Live webcast Oct. 3: Dudamel and LA Phil in Beethoven 9

[bhodges]

I have a couple of friends who will actually be in the audience at the Hollywood Bowl for this concert.  Looks like it could be quite good, and they have an excellent quartet of soloists.  And look at all those choirs!  (I'm amused to see Flea performing in the first half.)

Saxophone? In Beethoven 9th?

[Opus106]

They apparently used the Taj Mahal in it, too. But I didn't notice our Government making a fuss about it.
