The Hollywood Bowl officially canceled its 2020 season earlier this year, the first time a season has been canceled in the venue’s 98-year history, in an effort to protect artists, audiences. and staff from the spread of COVID-19.
“While it was heartbreaking not to be able to share music together at the Hollywood Bowl this past summer, having the opportunity to look back on these extraordinary concerts reminded us of everything that makes it so special and unique,” said Dudamel. “These beautifully crafted programs take us across genres and generations, from celebrations of Mexico to some of the most legendary jazz, pop, Broadway, and classical artists giving once-in-a-lifetime performances. We will return to the Bowl stronger than ever, but until then we can enjoy these magical moments.”
