The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music’s flagship orchestra, UCLA Philharmonia is a large symphony orchestra led by conductor Neal Stulberg. Its repertoire encompasses core symphonic and operatic works as well as contemporary and rarely performed music; the ensemble has recorded music by Eric Zeisl, Mohammed Fairouz and Ian Krouse.
The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music offers a refined concert experience in its 135-seat Lani Hall Theater, designed with advanced acoustic treatments that ensure clear sound from every seat. The venue features a raised stage with adjustable acoustic panels, creating an environment where both performers and audience members can engage deeply with the music. Events here range from student recitals to performances by renowned artists, often free and open to the public, with seating on a first-come, first-served basis. The setting encourages attentive listening rather than casual socializing, making it ideal for those who appreciate the nuances of live music. Located within UCLA's Westwood campus, the school also hosts a variety of musical series and festivals that celebrate global traditions and contemporary works, promising an enriching evening of artistry and culture.
