"Summer is the season of Gustavo Dudamel at the Hollywood Bowl this year, as the beloved conductor wraps up his 17-year run at the helm of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Audiences can bid him farewell during a trio of performances at Walt Disney Concert Hall in June, before the Bowl launches into a new season featuring a four-night Dudamel tribute titled "Celebrating Gustavo at the Bowl." That series opens Aug. 20 as part of the L.A. Phil's jam-packed summer lineup."
"The Dudamel love fest arrives as the Bowl dedicates its iconic stage to John Williams in celebration of the composer's decades-long relationship with the venue. The newly christened John Williams Stage and the special Dudamel programming will pay tribute to two towering Bowl icons during a major moment of change for the L.A. Phil. Dudamel conducted his very first concert as the L.A. Phil's music director in 2009 at the Bowl."
Gustavo Dudamel finishes a 17-year tenure as music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Farewell performances will include a trio of concerts at Walt Disney Concert Hall in June and a four-night event, "Celebrating Gustavo at the Bowl," opening Aug. 20 at the Hollywood Bowl.

The kickoff will reprise Beethoven No. 9 with the symphony and YOLA, debut a new Michael Giacchino orchestral piece with lyrics by Amanda Gorman, present a Latin pop-rock variety show "Dudamel's Playlist," include a joint concert with the Foo Fighters, and offer a retrospective celebration.
