Minimalist Jukebox Festival - Los Angeles Hotels .com

The Minimalist Jukebox Festival, hosted by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, explores and celebrates the minimalist movement in music through a series of concerts, lectures, and panel discussions.

Although typically pared down in form, the ideas and resonance of minimalist music can be quite complex and varied -- and the Minimalist Jukebox Festival, under the innovative direction of composer John Adams, is dedicated to bringing the movement's excitement and diversity to the fore.

The festival features performances of early groundbreaking work as well as more recent compositions inspired by the movement. Highlighted composers include such greats as Branca, Monk, Part, Andriessen, Glass, and Gordon.

The festival's concerts and events take place in the state-of-the-art Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry, located at 111 S. Grand Ave. in Downtown] LA. The music and symposia of the Minimalist Jukebox Festival run from March through April, with a sister Minimalist Jukebox Festival for [[film held in January.
