Time Out says

As the $274-million crown jewel of the LA Music Center, Disney Hall opened in 2003 to rave reviews. The novelty hasn't yet worn off: both inside and out, this is a terrific venue. Designed by Frank Gehry, the hall features a 2,265-capacity auditorium with an open platform stage. Chief acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota combined the best aspects of orchestral halls in Tokyo, Berlin, Amsterdam and Boston in a bid to provide aural warmth and clarity; the result of his endeavors is a virtually perfect acoustic that works almost as well for amplified events as for orchestral performances. The hall is the home of the LA Philharmonic and the LA Master Chorale, but the schedule is surprisingly varied throughout the year. The complex also includes the 250-seat Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theatre, a gallery and a roof garden. For tours of the building, call 213-972-4399, or see online for a schedule.

What’s on

Paul Simon

When you listen to Paul Simon’s latest albums, you’re quickly reminded: Wait a minute—this guy is a pop star. That is to say, not just a prescient urban-folk bard and boomer hero but an actual hit maker. His songs are often wildly infectious, effortless-seeming reprisals of Graceland’s brain-teasing, booty-moving mastery. Catch him over five nights at the Walt Disney Concert Hall for the live debut of his acoustic composition Seven Psalms and a collection of his timeless hits.
  • Folk, country and blues

Patti Smith

The Godmother of Punk—and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, author and artist—is back again. Smith has taken to the L.A. stage in recent years in a variety of venues, from a lecture at the Getty to an intimate evening at the Teragram Ballroom. This time around, she and her band are performing her debut album, Horses—which Rolling Stone has deemed one of the 50 best albums of all time—in its entirety at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Accompanying her are original band members Lenny Kaye and Jay Dee Daugherty, as well as guitarist Jackson Smith and her longtime bassist, Tony Shanahan. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, February 14, at 10am.
