Bounded by Hope Street, Grand Avenue, and 1st and 2nd Streets, it seats 2,265 people and serves, among other purposes, as the home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. The hall is a compromise between an arena seating configuration, like the Berliner Philharmonie by Hans Scharoun, and a classical shoebox design like the Vienna Musikverein or the Boston Symphony Hall,More info:wiki

Los Angeles’ iconic Walt Disney Concert Hall will receive a kaleidoscopic makeover this month courtesy of Refik Anadol.
The Turkish artist will use the Frank Gehry-design building’s angular metallic surfaces as a canvas for a new light show of projections based on data, patterns, images and audio drawn from the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra’s archive.
Some 42 projectors will create the psychedelic artworks, projecting them on the edifice at night to mark the orchestra’s new season of performances, which start on 28 September, and will run through to 6 October.

The Music Center has installed a new Meyer Sound LEOPARD linear sound reinforcement system in Walt Disney Concert Hall, home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic (LA Phil) and its Music & Artistic Director, Gustavo Dudamel, as well as the Los Angeles Master Chorale and its Artistic Director, Grant Gershon. Designed by architect Frank Gehry, the 2,265-seat Concert Hall opened in 2003, winning immediate acclaim as one of the most acoustically sophisticated concert halls in the world. While the LA Phil relies on the hall’s natural acoustics to perform unamplified, an increasing number of contemporary performances require sound reinforcement. LEOPARD will support these shows, which include artists such as Herbie Hancock, Dianne Reeves, and Jose Gonzalez in the LA Phil’s 2015-16 season.
