Created nearly 60 years ago as a place where everyone in Los Angeles could experience all the arts have to offer, The Music Center is the third largest performing arts center in the U.S. and a beacon for arts experiences that will engage, delight and surprise you.
The 22-acre Music Center campus includes four iconic theatres—Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Ahmanson Theatre, Mark Taper Forum and Walt Disney Concert Hall—and beautiful outdoor spaces including Jerry Moss Plaza, The Blue Ribbon Garden and Grand Park. The campus was designed by the foremost architects, including Welton Beckett for The Music Center’s first three theatres and the original plaza; Frank Gehry for The Music Center’s Walt Disney Concert Hall; and Rios for the renovation of Mark Taper Forum, Grand Park and the plaza. The Music Center offers compelling, world-class experiences, from the dimensionality of our various stages and acoustic quality of our theatres, to the landscaping and amenities you will find throughout the indoor and outdoor spaces.
