There is a legendary tradition of horn ensembles in Los Angles starting with the creation of The Los Angeles Horn Club in 1950 made up of almost forty horn players from the Hollywood Studios and Los Angeles Philharmonic. Since Dennis Brain’s records were selling so well at the time, The Los Angeles Horn Club was approached about recording an album to see if that would sell even more records. Two albums were recorded: one in 1958 and one in 1970.

Colburn has five divisions designed to reach students at every level of their development: Their community school (School of Performing Arts), pre-college music and dance division (The Academy), a degree granting music conservatory (Conservatory of Music), a dance school (Trudl Zipper Dance Institute), and an adult education division (Adult Studies) are all exemplary in their fields of instruction.
Performance Spaces include: Zipper Hall, Thayer Hall, Mayman Hall, Grand Rehearsal Hall, and Olive Rehearsal Hall.

In the summer, it is home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic (the Phil plays in the Walt Disney Concert Hall the rest of the year) and a slate of touring music acts. There's a lineup of jazz and classical music, as well as more youthful concerts. Two concerts collaborations with the Los Angeles Philharmonic have been planned at the Bowl for the 2015 IHS: Tuesday, August 4, 2015 and Thursday, August 6, 2015. A mass horn ensemble, featured artists, and “horn-heavy” symphonic works will be performed.

It is a 10 minute walk from the Hollywood METRO subway stop to the Hollywood Bowl. Participants may also drive or take a cab.
Grand Performances
“A GRAND GIFT TO THE PUBLIC, GRAND PERFORMANCES, A FREE AND FREEWHEELING SERIES, IS DEMOCRACY IN MUSICAL ACTION”
GRAND PERFORMANCES…
1. brings artists and audiences together by thoughtfully curating an array of music, dance, film, and spoken word featuring great artists from around the globe and our very own streets of L.A.
2. connects Angelenos to art and artists, artists to audiences, audiences to each other
3. gives Angelenos a unique experience, from bombastic and grand to intimate and thought-provoking
MISSION STATEMENT
Grand Performances presents free performing arts that reflect the best of global culture and inspire community among the diverse peoples of Los Angeles.
Located amid major high-rise buildings, the California Plaza "Watercourt" is a series of outdoor performance stages and seating areas woven into an urban garden in downtown Los Angeles. Many types of daytime and evening public performances are given here, and seating and stage areas can be converted into water pools and features between events. Seats up to 5,000 people.
Three evening events will be held at the California Watercourt.
California plaza is located on the same big block as The Colburn School. It will take less than 3 minutes to walk from Colburn to the California Watercourt.
Grand Park http://grandparkla.org
A city’s urban heart is an expression of its people, its diversity, its interests, and its passions. The new Grand Park, with its majestic views extending from the Music Center to City Hall, provides Angelenos of all walks of life a place where they can come together to celebrate, reflect, and shape the future, in one central gathering place. Throughout Grand Park, open spaces are available not only for casual sitting and leisurely strolling, but also for civic gatherings. Grand Park has four distinct areas featuring amenities ranging from a restored historic Arthur J. Will Memorial Fountain with a new wade-able membrane pool, a small intimate performance lawn, a community terrace planted with drought tolerant specimen plants representing the diverse cultural make-up of Los Angeles itself, and a grand event lawn. The new Grand Park allows for a strong visual and physical connection from Grand Avenue via a series of stairs, accessible ramps and sloped walks as well as a new elevator to invite more pedestrians into a vibrant garden environment, a place to come together in a welcoming and distinctly urban oasis.
