PROKOFIEV Peter and the Wolf
The Oscar ®-, Emmy ®-, and two-time Tony ®-winning Viola Davis shares her powerful voice when she joins Gustavo and the LA Phil as narrator for Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, which is loved by the children it introduced to the orchestra as well as generations of grownups charmed by its melodies and spirit. Dudamel leads Prokofiev’s Haydn-inspired symphony and selections from Margaret Bonds’ Montgomery Variations. Written in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. during the Selma-to-Montgomery marches, the Variations are a cycle of spirituals that were lost, restored, and finally performed for the first time in 2018.

Singer and songwriter Christina Aguilera has long been renowned for the power of her voice. She’s racked up No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 in three straight decades—making her only the fourth female artist to do so—and she’s won six Grammy ® Awards including one Latin Grammy. There’s only one thing this powerhouse singer hasn’t done: perform an entire concert live with orchestra. With Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic this July, she’s going to change that. You don’t want to miss this.
