Can't catch LA Phil at the Hollywood Bowl this year? Listen online or on air

If you love classical music but can't make it out to the Hollywood Bowl this season to see the Los Angeles Philharmonic perform live, you're in luck.
KUSC (91.5 FM in L.A.) will be broadcasting the concerts every Sunday night through mid-October, and they'll make the recordings available for online streaming for up to a week.
The broadcasts will be pre-recorded from select Tuesday and Thursday concerts, according to KUSC. It's the eighth time the LA Phil has partnered with KUSC to bring the concerts to a local radio audience.
The lineup this year includes conductors Gustavo Dudamel and Esa-Pekka Salonen, pianist Yuja Wang and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
The concerts will be broadcast Sundays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

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. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
