Our Story

As Los Angeles’ performing arts center, The Music Center has served millions of patrons for more than five decades and is one of the largest and most respected performing art centers in the nation. With four world-class resident companies and five exceptional venues, we have enjoyed bringing Los Angeles the very best in music, dance, opera and theatre.

We have also developed models for arts education initiatives that continue to impact students and teachers in and outside of the classroom. From The Music Center’s Spotlight program, an annual scholarship and training program for high school students, to The Music Center On Tour, which brings world-class performing artists to the classroom, The Music Center’s lauded educational initiatives are committed to inspiring the minds of students in Los Angeles County.

As the 21st century has ushered in new ways of communicating and creating, the arts are no longer the exclusive purview of those who purchase tickets to sit in a concert hall or theatre. The Music Center is one of the first arts organization to recognize this with a slate of innovative low-cost or free arts programming that is relevant to a range of audiences and interests. These successful programs engage the community and bring the arts alive. Sleepless: The Music Center After Hours, Dance DTLA, Grand Park + The Music Center’s 4th of July Block Party, and N.Y.E.L.A. are all designed to gather and connect people across lines of race, ethnicity, gender, class and age in an interdisciplinary and multi-sensory art experience, engaging thousands of Angelos.

We hope you will join us in shaping the future of The Music Center and the arts in Los Angeles.
