Can’t get enough of his yearly appearance at the Bowl? The LA Phil follows up John Williams’s summertime set with the first of two years of live scores and concerts in his honor at Disney Hall. You can see live scores of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (Nov 2, 3) and Superman (Mar 15), plus a Gustavo Dudamel-led evening that includes a performance of a suite of Harry Potter compositions (May 18, 19). Expect Williams scores to also make their way into the David Newman-conducted “A Century of Film” program (Feb 2–4).
As May arrives in Los Angeles, so too does summer and a season of outdoor concerts. Whether you’re looking for local bands or arena-caliber acts, these are the best concerts in L.A. this May.
