John Lithgow to Host Final LA Phil LIVE Performance for the 2010/11 Season

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. The program also includes Brahms' dramatic and powerful Symphony No. 4. The concert is the conclusion of the LA Phil's Brahms Unbound cycle, which features the complete Brahms symphonies, often juxtaposed with contemporary works.
