Hello Summer: Music Under the Stars is Back

All around town, you’ll hear the soundtrack of the season, from classical programs, to pop, rock and cool jazz. Many outdoor concerts are free, such as Grand Performances and The Music Center’s Dance DTLA. Major museums such as LACMA and The Getty Center are hosting free concerts as well.
