An exclusive Sony Classical artist with more than 36 CDs recorded, Bell made his Hollywood Bowl debut in 1986; in 2005, he was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame.Perry So, Associate Conductor of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, was one of the inaugural Dudamel Conducting Fellows at the Los Angeles Philharmonic. He also received the first and special prizes at the Fifth International Prokofiev Conducting Competition in 2008; only the third time top prize has been awarded. So was born in Hong Kong in 1982, and graduated from Yale University in Comparative Literatures, where he studied with noted literary scholar Michael Holquist.TCHAIKOVSKY Serenade for Strings, Op. 48WHO: LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC
