Due to the pandemic, the Hollywood Bowl canceled its 2020 season, a first in the venue’s 98-year history. To continue the music though, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association will offer In Concert at the Hollywood Bowl, a weekly music series to air Fridays at 9 p.m. on PBS, pbssocal.org/bowl, and on the free PBS app. The series, which aired in California this summer, features moments from the archives at the Hollywood Bowl, featuring the best performances from the past 10 years, hosted by the LA Phil Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel.
The six-episode series begins its national broadcast January 15 with Musicals and the Movies, featuring classic songs performed by some of Broadway’s brightest stars, including Sutton Foster and Brian Stokes Mitchell singing selections from On the Town, Kristin Chenoweth singing “Somewhere over the Rainbow” from The Wizard of Oz, and Audra McDonald performing “When Did I Fall In Love” from Fiorello!, “Make Someone Happy” from Do Re Mi, and “Moon River” from Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
