Ten Los Angeles Philharmonic concerts from the current Hollywood Bowl season will be broadcast on Classical KUSC beginning Sunday, August 10 at 7:00 PM. This is the eighth year of the orchestra's summer partnership with the Los Angeles listener-sponsored classical music radio station.

The concerts will be recorded live on select nights at the Hollywood Bowl featuring the LA Phil with a stellar roster of artists and conductors. Hosted and produced by KUSC's Brian Lauritzen and executive produced by KUSC's Gail Eichenthal, the programs air weekly at 7:00 PM on Sundays from August 10 through October 12, and are heard throughout much of Southern California on 91.5 Classical KUSC, 88.5 KPSC in Palm Springs, 91.1 KDSC in Thousand Oaks, 99.7 KESC in Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo, and 88.7 KQSC in Santa Barbara. The programs can also be heard online at KUSC.org. Most concerts will be available for online streaming for one week following the broadcast. Interviews and features with soloists and orchestra members throughout the series offer unique insights and give listeners a more in-depth perspective. The project is made possible through support from the office of Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky.

The series opens Sunday, August 10 at 7:00 PM with a broadcast of conductor James Gaffigan leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic and pianist Behzod Abduraimov in Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet Suite (recorded on July 15).
