Award-winning actor John Lithgow hosts the Los Angeles Philharmonic's LA Phil LIVE concert to be simulcast live in theaters throughout the U.S. and Canada, Sunday, June 5, at 2 p.m. Pacific/5 p.m. Eastern. The performance, led by the orchestra's dynamic Music Director Gustavo Dudamel, also features the rising young superstar siblings Renaud and Gautier Capuçon playing violin and cello, in Brahms' Concerto For Violin, Cello and Orchestra.
