Listening Labs at LAMF are back!

Like a book club... but for MUSIC! Join our host, LAMF Artistic & Executive Director Scott Lykins, as he guides you through some of the major works from this year's festival, MYTHS & MAGIC, in three separate sessions.

Our first Listening Lab kicks off next Wednesday (June 25) with a deep dive into Hector Berlioz's dramatic, hallucinatory, and supernatural Symphonie Fantastique! Then in July, we'll explore two more works: Shostakovich's Symphony No. 9 and Wagner's Ring Without Words.

June 25—Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique
July 9—Shostakovich's Symphony No. 9
July 16—Wagner's Ring Without Words
