Actress Angela Bassett arrives on the red carpet at the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Inaugural Gala at the Walt Disney Concert Hall on October 8, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.
Each year since its founding in 1919, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has been hailed as Southern California's leading performing arts institution. In the fall of 2003, the Philharmonic took up residence in the acoustically superb, stunning Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall — the fourth performing venue in the Music Center complex.
