THE OPENING NIGHT COMMITTEE CHAIRS Vern Evans
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to Opening Night at the Hollywood Bowl! Tonight’s concert kicks off the LA Phil’s 97th season at Southern California’s most iconic venue, and we are delighted to share this momentous occasion with an audience of generous supporters of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association. This year we celebrate with legendary icon Diana Ross, as she sings memories with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra under Principal Conductor Thomas Wilkins. The concert will also feature student musicians from the LA Phil’s signature education program Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA). YOLA and the LA Phil’s full suite of education initiatives reach more than 150,000 children and families each year, because of the dedicated support we receive from loyal patrons like you. Thank you for your generosity to the LA Phil and the Hollywood Bowl. We hope you enjoy this special evening, as we embark on another summer of unforgettable nights under the stars at the Hollywood Bowl!

Vern Evans
CHAIR Welcome to Opening Night at the Hollywood Bowl! This annual tradition brings out many thousands of people from across our region to celebrate the beginning of summer and mark the opening of another fabulous Hollywood Bowl season! This year we are thrilled beyond words to be joined by Diana Ross, one of the greatest entertainers of all time. She will light up the Bowl with her dynamic charisma and glorious music, and we’re sure she will provide us all with an experience that we will remember for many years to come. The proceeds from tonight’s Opening Night benefit the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Education and Community programs, which serve more than 150,000 children and their families each year. Included among these programs is Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel’s signature initiative, Youth Orchestra Los Angeles, or YOLA. Students and alumni from YOLA are joining us on stage tonight, performing alongside the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. The LA Phil’s commitment to young people is a vitally important part of our identity, and we are grateful to you for coming out tonight to help us continue this important work. Thank you for supporting great music and the LA Phil as we usher in our 97th season at the Hollywood Bowl. We hope to see you many times throughout what promises to be another extraordinary summer under the stars.

GRADUATION IS JUST THE BEGINNING FOR YOLA’S PROMISING MUSICIANS Tonight, more than 25 players from Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA) will be performing side-by-side with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. These talented young players represent a small fraction of the more than 1,000 students who now participate in Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel’s signature initiative. Through YOLA, the LA Phil and its community partners provide free instruments, intensive music training, and academic support to students from underserved neighborhoods, empowering them to become vital citizens, leaders, and agents of change. The future of classical music in the United States is being shaped by the students of YOLA and programs like it across the country. YOLA’s alumni attend music programs and conservatories including Oberlin College, the Peabody Institute, Eastman School of Music, UCLA, and San Francisco Conservatory. Students who do not choose to pursue music are attending two- and four-year universities around the country at an extremely high rate. Many of them are first in their families to do so. A recent YOLA graduate, bassoonist John Anthony Gonzalez will begin study at Peabody in the fall. “YOLA really supported me,” Gonzalez said. “[LA Phil bassoonist] Michele Grego is amazing. She told me that she wanted to help me and would guide me if I wanted to stick with bassoon. She took me under her wing and gave me private lessons every two months and then more often as I got serious and had college auditions.” LA Phil musicians like Grego – along with YOLA teaching artists, academic counselors, and program staff – work tirelessly to ensure that students like Gonzalez have the same opportunities as their peers from more affluent communities. As the ambitions of YOLA’s students have grown, the LA Phil has endeavored to keep pace with them. The program’s offerings have been expanded and deepened through the YOLA Institute, which now provides private lessons, conservatory and college application support, instrument

scholarships, leadership training, and performance and travel opportunities to the program’s high school-aged students. “The LA Phil envisions a future in which American orchestras are better able to both serve and reflect their communities,” Acting Director of Educational Initiatives Elsje Kibler-Vermaas said. “The YOLA Institute is a concrete step forward — one of many that the LA Phil is taking — to help realize that future, today.” The YOLA Institute, like YOLA itself, is offered free-of-charge to its participants. The program is completely dependent on the generosity of donors who believe in the power of music to open doors for young people from underserved communities and provide a pathway to future success.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS THOMAS WILKINS
Thomas Wilkins is Principal Conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. He has held a titled position at the Hollywood Bowl since 2008, when he was named Principal Guest Conductor; in the spring of 2014 he became Principal Conductor. Additionally, he holds the position of Music Director of the Omaha Symphony, a post he has held since 2005. He also holds the Germeshausen Family and Youth Concert Conductor chair with the Boston Symphony. In August of 2017 he assumed the Henry A. Upper chair of Orchestral Conducting established by the late Barbara and David Jacobs as a part of Indiana University’s “Matching the Promise Campaign.” Past positions have included resident conductor of the Detroit Symphony and Florida Orchestra (Tampa Bay), and associate conductor of the Richmond (VA) Symphony. He also has served on the music faculties of North Park University (Chicago), the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga, and Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. Devoted to promoting a life-long enthusiasm for music, Thomas Wilkins brings energy and commitment to audiences of all ages. He is hailed as a master at communicating and connecting with audiences. Following his highly successful first season with the Boston Symphony, the Boston Globe named him among the “Best People and Ideas of 2011.” In 2014, Wilkins received the prestigious “Outstanding Artist” award at the Nebraska Governor’s Arts Awards, for his significant contribution to music in the state. And in March of 2018, the Longy School of Music awarded Thomas Wilkins the Leonard Bernstein Lifetime Achievement Award for the Elevation of Music in Society. During his conducting career, he has led orchestras throughout the U.S., including the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Cleveland Orchestra (both of which he returned to guest conduct in the 2016/17 season), the New York Philharmonic, the Atlanta Symphony, the Rochester Philharmonic, the Cincinnati Symphony, the Dallas Symphony, the Houston Symphony, the Buffalo Philharmonic, the Baltimore Symphony, the San Diego Symphony, the Utah Symphony, at the Grant Park Music Festival in Chicago (where he returned in the summer of 2017), and the National Symphony in Washington, D.C., to name a few. A native of Norfolk, Virginia, Thomas Wilkins is a graduate of the
Shenandoah Conservatory of Music and the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. He and his wife Sheri-Lee are the proud parents of twin daughters, Erica and Nicole.
YOUTH ORCHESTRA LOS ANGELES
Through Gustavo Dudamel’s YOUTH ORCHESTRA LOS ANGELES (YOLA) program – inspired by Venezuela’s revolutionary El Sistema – the LA Phil and its community partners provide free instruments, intensive music training, and academic support to over 800 students from vulnerable communities, empowering them to become vital citizens, leaders, and agents of change. YOLA provides each student, from the ages of 6 to 18, with a strong musical and social foundation through participation in 12-15 hours of programming each week. With YOLA sites in South L.A., the Rampart District, and East L.A., YOLA engages students from more than 200 schools in L.A. County. Music study is complemented by leadership development opportunities, parent workshops, and performances – both in the community and in world-class venues such as Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl. Located in South Los Angeles and founded with the Harmony Project in 2007 as the first YOLA site, YOLA at EXPO Center is a partnership of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Harmony Project, and the EXPO Center, a City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks facility. YOLA at HOLA is located in the Rampart District, one of L.A.’s most densely populated and diverse neighborhoods. Founded in 2010, this program is a partnership of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association and Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA). With major support from Supervisor Hilda Solis, YOLA at LACHSA began in 2014 and engages children in the County’s First District in East L.A. and the San Gabriel Valley. YOLA at LACHSA is a partnership of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association and the Los Angeles County Office of Education. YOLA’s young musicians have performed on great stages all over the world, including the LA Phil’s two iconic venues – the Hollywood Bowl and Walt Disney Concert Hall; in many other locations throughout Southern California; on national and international television broadcasts; and alongside the greatest artists. YOLA at Camino Nuevo, located in the Westlake/MacArthur Park area of Los Angeles, is the first in-school YOLA model, allowing the LA Phil to bring music instruction into the school day and extend it after-school. Launched in 2017, this program will serve all students in grades K-12 at the Kayne Siart Campus and Miramar Campus of Camino Nuevo Charter Academy.
IN MEMORIAM KATIA POPOV (1965-2018) It is with tremendous sadness and great shock that we mourn the death of Katia Popov, Concertmaster of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra (HBO), following her courageous multi-year battle with cancer. A member of the HBO’s First Violin section since August 1991, Katia auditioned for and won the position of concertmaster in April 2012 and throughout her tenure her passion for the HBO was both inspiring and infectious. Katia’s consummate musicianship, striking presence, and dedicated leadership will be sorely missed.
