The Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra continues their exciting concert season next week Saturday (tickets) and Sunday (tickets) with a wide ranging concert featuring Joseph Haydn, Bizet and a Tango work by the Grammy award winning film composer who wrote the original Mission: Impossible TV score. And like last time, we're giving away two pairs of tickets to the Saturday night concert at the Alex Theatre in Glendale. Guest Violinist Cho-Liang Lin will play on the U.S. premiere of Tangos Concertantes by composer Lalo Schifrin, who was also was nominated in the Academy Awards for movies Cool Hand Luke and The Competition. Also, the Orchestra's principal flautist David Shostac will play on the world premiere of his own Carmen Fantasy, which incorporates his own compositions with Bizet and Borne.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
