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.
