Historia del Hollywood Bowl
Durante más de 100 años, la música y la interpretación han tenido un destino central en Los Ángeles. El Hollywood Bowl es un lugar para mostrar la grandeza artística y celebrar nuestra herencia cultural global.
También es un campo de pruebas para artistas emergentes y un laboratorio vivo para la experimentación y el descubrimiento. Explorar el pasado vibrante y dinámico del Bowl es tener una ventana a las voces e ideas que han influido en nuestra historia y continúan dando forma a nuestro mundo.
