[CHIC AND ORCHESTRA PLAYING "EVERYBODY DANCE"] GUSTAVO DUDAMEL: THE FIREWORKS AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL ARE LEGENDARY, BUT THE MUSIC BURNS JUST AS BRIGHT WITH PINK MARTINI, DIEGO EL CIGALA, AND NILE RODGERS.
CHIC: ♪ EVERYBODY DANCE ♪ RODGERS: WHOO!
DUDAMEL: JOIN ME IN CONCERT AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL.
CHIC: ♪ EVERYBODY DANCE ♪ KATY PERRY: THANK YOU!
[CHEERING] GUSTAVO: HERE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL, MUSIC HAS NO BOUNDARIES.
THE BOWL IS WHERE MUSIC BELONGS TO ALL OF US.
WHEN THE MUSIC PLAYS, EVERYONE IS RIGHT WHERE THEY BELONG.
I AM GUSTAVO DUDAMEL, MUSIC AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF THE LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC.
TODAY, I INVITE YOU TO JOIN ME AT MY SUMMER HOME--THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL.
[CROWD CHEERING] THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL IS ALL ABOUT THE TRADITIONS THAT BRING US TOGETHER, AND NO TRADITION IS MORE BELOVED THAN FIREWORKS.
THE CONDUCTOR ZUBIN MEHTA WAS THE FIRST TO STAGE TCHAIKOVSKY'S EXPLOSIVE 1812 OVERTURE WITH FIREWORKS IN 1969.
SINCE THEN, NO BOWL SEASON IS COMPLETE WITHOUT THEM.
THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL IS FUN.
LET'S START THINGS OFF WITH THE ULTIMATE PARTY BAND PINK MARTINI.
PINK MARTINI CONSIDER THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL THEIR SECOND HOME.
IN THE SET, THEY TAKE US FROM THE BAND'S FIRST HIT "SYMPATHIQUE" TO RITA HAYWORTH'S "AMADO MIO."
ENJOY.

THOMAS HAS BEEN CHARMING BOWL AUDIENCES FOR MORE THAN A DECADE.
HE'S A MASTER OF CONNECTING WITH THE CROWD.
I CAUGHT UP WITH THOMAS DURING THIS DARK SEASON IN THE BOWL'S NEARLY 100-YEAR HISTORY.
SO, MY DEAR THOMAS, HOW ARE YOU?
WILKINS: I'M DOING GREAT.
I'M JUST GREAT.
GLAD TO SEE YOU.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
DUDAMEL: DOING WELL.
YOU KNOW, STAYING SAFE AND, YOU KNOW, TAKING CARE OF THE FAMILY.
WILKINS: YEAH.
THAT'S ABOUT THE SAME THING HERE.
DUDAMEL: I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY THAT THEY ARE USED TO SEE YOU ON THE STAGE AND ALL OF THAT IS TO KNOW DURING THIS TIME, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE BEEN DOING SOME ONLINE WORK AND ALL OF THAT, BUT LOOK.
WILKINS: YES.
DUDAMEL: THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL.
WILKINS: HA HA HA!
DUDAMEL: THAT PLACE THAT YOU KNOW REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WELL.
FOR US, IT'S LIKE OUR HOME, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO ASK YOU FOR YOU WHAT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL IS SO SPECIAL, YOU KNOW.
WHY THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL IS SUCH A SPECIAL PLACE?
WILKINS: YEAH.
YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS FIRST HIRED THERE.
I REMEMBER THE DRIVER BRINGING ME TO THE BOWL, AND HE SAID, "IT'S A VERY SPECIAL PLACE," YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE WOULD SAY.
HE LIVES IN THAT TOWN, BUT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO IS WHEN I'M GOING HOME AT THE END OF--AFTER A CONCERT IS TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AND LISTEN AND WATCH ALL THE PEOPLE LEAVING THE BOWL BECAUSE THERE'S THIS TREMENDOUS SPIRIT OF UNITY THAT'S IN THE--AND, YOU KNOW, 18,000 PEOPLE.
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN, THAT EVERYONE FEELS LIKE THEY'RE ONE GIANT FAMILY AND COMMUNITY AND THEY COULD BE WAY UP IN THE NOSEBLEED SECTION OR DOWN IN THE POOL?
AND THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE WHO HAVE PLENTY, AND THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE WHO ARE, YOU KNOW, STARVING COLLEGE STUDENTS, AND YET THEY ALL FIND A WAY TO BECOME ONE GIANT FAMILY AROUND GREAT MUSIC.
DUDAMEL: ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY.
THE SAME FEELING, YOU KNOW.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL THAT YOU DESCRIBE IT IN THAT WAY BECAUSE IT'S TRUE.
IT'S LIKE ONE FAMILY, YOU KNOW, GETTING TOGETHER AND CONNECTING, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE BEAUTY OF THE ART.
WILKINS: RIGHT, AND, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING, TOO, IS THAT FOR US ONSTAGE WE FEEL THAT ENERGY.
I KNOW YOU DO, YOU KNOW?
DUDAMEL: FEEL IT.
YES.
WILKINS: AND WE FEEL THAT--I HAVE A SENSE THAT WE ARE THEIRS WHEN WE'RE ON THAT STAGE, YOU KNOW, THAT WE BELONG TO THEM AND THEY KNOW THAT THEY BELONG TO US, AND THAT'S ALSO A REMARKABLE.
GIFT.
DUDAMEL: THAT'S TRUE, BUT LOOK, YOUR CONNECTION WITH THE AUDIENCE FEELS, LIKE, EFFORTLESS, YOU KNOW.
IT'S KIND OF SO EASY.
HOW DO YOU MAKE A VENUE OF 18,000 SEATS FEEL INTIMATE?
WILKINS: YEAH.
YOU KNOW, FIRST OF ALL, I LOVE PEOPLE, AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT WE GET A CHANCE TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL, AND SO NOTHING'S CONTRIVED.
IT'S JUST BORN OUT OF MY BEING REALLY GLAD TO BE THERE BUT ALSO REALLY GLAD THAT THEY'RE THERE, AND SOMETIMES, I'LL LOOK STRAIGHT UP INTO THE BACK OF THE HOUSE AS IF I'M LOOKING AT SOMEONE SPECIFICALLY SO THEY GET THE SENSE THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY HAVING A CONVERSATION IN A LIVING ROOM, LIKE, AND WE'RE TALKING TO THEM.
WE'RE NOT JUST RECITING FACTS.
WE'RE REALLY JUST TALKING.
DUDAMEL: YEAH.
THAT IS TRUE, AND LOOK.
YOU KNOW, EVERY SUMMER YOU PERFORM, YOU KNOW, AN INCREDIBLE RANGE OF, YOU KNOW, WORK.
YOU GO, YOU KNOW, FROM STRAVINSKY TO STEVIE WONDER.
AND, YOU KNOW, IN ONE NIGHT, WHICH THIS IS CRAZY TO US, BUT THIS IS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS ALSO A QUESTION ALL THE TIME.
WHAT DO YOU PREFER TO PERFORM?
YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE, YOU KNOW, FROM ONE REPERTOIRE OR ANOTHER?
WILKINS: WELL, IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I HAVE OFTEN REFERRED TO THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL AS MY DESSERT JOB BECAUSE I SPEND SO MUCH OF MY TIME WITH MAHLER AND BEETHOVEN AND BRAHMS AND HAYDN, AND THAT MUSIC IS EXTRAORDINARY, BUT SO IS THE MUSIC OF STEVIE WONDER AND EARTH, WIND, AND FIRE, AND PINK MARTINI BECAUSE MUSIC IS JUST MUSIC, AND THE BEAUTY OF THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL IS WE REMOVE ALL THE LABELS, AND ONCE YOU DO THAT, EVERYTHING'S AVAILABLE TO YOU AS LONG AS IT'S GOOD MUSIC.
I THINK IT WAS DUKE ELLINGTON THAT SAID THERE'S ONLY TWO KINDS OF MUSIC, GOOD MUSIC AND BAD MUSIC, BUT I HAVE AS MUCH FUN WITH STEVIE WONDER OR EARTH, WIND, AND FIRE AS I DO WITH MAHLER OR BEETHOVEN.
OF COURSE, THE LANDSCAPE IS DIFFERENT, AND THE TEXTURES ARE DIFFERENT, BUT THE MUSIC ITSELF, THE SOUND ITSELF IS STILL REMARKABLE AND LIFE-CHANGING, AND I JUST DON'T BOTHER MESSING AROUND WITH A WHOLE LOT OF LABELS.
I'M JUST ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN WITH WHATEVER MUSIC IS IN FRONT OF ME, AND THE REALLY COOL PART IS THE AUDIENCE EXPECTS THAT, AND THE ORCHESTRA IS CAPABLE OF DOING THAT.
BOTH THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL ORCHESTRA AND THE L.A. PHIL, THOSE GUYS CAN TURN ON A DIME AND DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY, YOU KNOW?
SO THAT'S REALLY COOL.
DUDAMEL: IT'S TRUE.
FLEXIBILITY AND CONNECTION AND ALL OF THAT.
SAME.
I SEE IT.
MUSIC IS LIKE A TREE, YOU KNOW.
WILKINS: YEAH.
DUDAMEL: AND THEN YOU HAVE THE LEAVES, YOU HAVE THE DIFFERENT PARTS THAT CAN BE THE DIFFERENT KIND OF MUSIC, BUT IT'S ONE TREE, AND I THINK THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL IS A PERFECT PLACE TO SHOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT IT'S NOT ANY BORDER, YOU KNOW, BETWEEN MUSICS.
WILKINS: RIGHT.
RIGHT.
DUDAMEL: OH, WELL, MY DEAR, YOU KNOW, I THANK YOU FOR ALL OF WHAT YOU GIVE, YOU KNOW, TO THE BOWL, TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS WONDERFUL CITY, TO OUR FAMILY, YOU KNOW, THE PHILHARMONIC, ESPECIALLY OUR KIDS OF YOLA, YOU KNOW, AND YOU ARE AMAZING, AND THE ONLY THING THAT I HOPE IS THAT WE CAN GO THERE AND PLAY MUSIC AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
WILKINS: YES.
YOU KNOW, I THINK WE WILL, AND THANK YOU, BY THE WAY, FOR SAYING THAT.
IT'S A GREAT JOY FOR ME, AND I AM COMPLETELY HOPEFUL THAT WE'LL GET TOGETHER SOON.
WHAT I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IS THAT WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE SO READY TO BE BACK TOGETHER THAT THE MUSIC-MAKING IS GOING TO BE LIFE-CHANGING, SO WE'LL ALL LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.
DUDAMEL: WONDERFUL, MY DEAR.
I SEND YOU ALL MY LOVE, AND STAY HEALTHY PLEASE.
WILKINS: SAME TO YOU.
DUDAMEL: THANK YOU.
A LOT OF LOVE.
WILKINS: YOU, TOO.
DUDAMEL: YOU CAN SEE WHY THOMAS IS BELOVED BY HOLLYWOOD BOWL AUDIENCES.
EVERY YEAR, HE CONDUCTS THE VENUE'S FOURTH OF JULY CONCERTS, WHICH RUN THE GAMUT FROM SOUSA MARCHES AND MILITARY SALUTES TO FUNK BANDS AND POP STARS.
HERE NOW IS MAESTRO WILKINS WITH THE LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA WITH A PATRIOTIC SALUTE TO THE FOURTH.

WE TURN NEXT TO STRAVINSKY'S "FIREBIRD."
THE COMPOSER CONDUCTED THE PIECE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL IN 1940 ON THE CONDITION THAT HIS CITIZENSHIP APPLICATION WOULD BE SPONSORED BY THE CONCERT'S ORGANIZER.
THE SOLD-OUT PERFORMANCE WAS AN INCREDIBLE SUCCESS, AND SOON AFTER, STRAVINSKY AND HIS WIFE MOVED TO LOS ANGELES AS U.S. CITIZENS.
HERE IS THE LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC IN 2018 PERFORMING STRAVINSKY'S FIREBIRD.

I FIRST MET KATY PERRY WHEN WE WERE BOTH ON TOUR IN ARGENTINA.

THE ANNUAL JOHN WILLIAMS CONCERT AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL IS ALWAYS A SELL-OUT.
THE LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC WAS THE FIRST ORCHESTRA TO PERFORM "STAR WARS" IN CONCERT.
IT WAS A RADICAL DECISION IN 1977 WHEN FILM SCORES WERE RARELY INCLUDED IN SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA PROGRAMS.
THE CONCERT AND LASER LIGHT SHOW THAT CAME WITH IT WERE A HUGE SUCCESS, AND THE TRADITION CONTINUES TO THIS DAY.
AUDIENCES BRING THEIR LIGHTSABERS TO THE BOWL EVERY SUMMER FOR THE SHOW'S ENCORE.
HERE NOW IS OUR TRADITIONAL ENCORE, JOHN WILLIAMS CONDUCTING THE LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC WITH THE THEME FROM "STAR WARS."
