Stories of the world come alive at the Newseum, where you can go behind the scenes to experience how and why news is made. See some of the final photographs of the only journalist who died covering the 9/11 attacks, witness the epic struggle of the civil rights movement in the '60s, marvel at a comprehensive collection of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs and hear never-before-told stories from the journalists and photographers who stood on the front lines of history. This high-tech museum features seven levels of galleries and exhibits, including the Berlin Wall Gallery, which features eight 12-foot-high sections of the actual wall and a three-story East German guard tower. There are also theaters, retail spaces and visitor services where you can explore electronic news, unique artifacts, photojournalism, news history and world news. And, since there's so much to see, your ticket is good for two consecutive days. Take your time and see half the first day, then return the next day to catch what you missed. [less-]

My Morning Jacket's Jim James joins forces with the duo of Sean Lennon and Primus' Les Claypool -- aka The Claypool Lennon Delirium -- for a co-headlining gig at the Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles. Both James and The Delirium are iconoclasts on the forefront of the psychedelic rock sound, and James offers this tongue-in-cheek analysis of the upcoming nine-city tour. "For over 150 years, the firm of Claypool and Lennon has been providing clients with only the finest in rock and roll delirium and stark raving madness. This summer, I am excited and honored to say that we will be teaming up." James has released seven solo albums, including 2018's "Uniform Distortion", while The Delirium's latest is 2019's "South of Reality". [less-]

Just imagine an errant wrecking ball swinging through the Hollywood Bowl and destroying Yuja Wang’s piano moments before her performance with the LA Phil. Never fear: The charismatic virtuoso could still entertain, as she’s recently begun dabbling in comedy, rap, dancing and singing. But barring any errant wrecking balls, it’s her classical music skills that will be highlighted in this concert conducted by Dudamel. [less-]

She's played with Rod Stewart, had a concerto written for her by Wynton Marsalis and been fussed over by the Queen of England, who worried that she was working too hard and urged her to take some time off. British violinist Nicola Benedetti (or "Nicky" as her friends and fans call her) and the Budapest Festival Orchestra come to the Hollywood Bowl, where you can rock out to the best in classical music while enjoying a picnic box ordered ahead of time by app. [less-]

If you haven’t been to a classical concert at the Hollywood Bowl, this is the perfect excuse to swirl your wine glass in tempo with the LA Phil. See if you can keep up with conductor Nicholas McGegan’s direction of Mozart’s joyful (and often rapid) Overture to "The Magic Flute". [less-]

Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra are no strangers to playing outdoors: their annual Dancing in the Square concerts bring together thousands of Hungarians from all age groups and walks of life to share in the fun of classical music. That means they'll be right at home in the open air surroundings of the Hollywood Bowl -- and don't be surprised if you find yourself dancing along when they strike up the cheerful and buoyant stains of Dvorak's Symphony No. 8.

L.A. is blessed with one of the world’s great orchestras, but if you’re looking to tick another one off your concert bucket list, don’t miss the Budapest Festival Orchestra, who "Gramophone" said delivers “at white heat at every performance.” Perfect for a summer night under the stars. [less-]

When the legendary Antonio Vivaldi set out to recreate the passage of the seasons in musical form, he left directions in the music to include some of the smallest details from each time of the year. In this L.A. Phil performance at the Hollywood Bowl, keep an ear out for instruments mimicking the sound of a springtime shepherd's barking dog, buzzing of summertime flies and a bunch of rowdy drunk villagers in autumn.

Though it's been debunked about a million times, some conspiracy theorists apparently still think that the lunar landing was a hoax, perpetrated by, among others, Walt Disney and Stanley Kubrick. But goosebumps are guaranteed and doubts will likely vanish when Oscar-nominated composer-conductor David Newman ("Anastasia") and the LA Phil fly you to the moon under the stars at the Hollywood Bowl.

It's an Anglophile's delight under the stars in Hollywood, as Covent Gardens' own renowned baritone Sir Thomas Allen, British conductor Bramwell Tovey and the LA Phil and Master Chorale perform England's greatest classical hits, with Gilbert & Sullivan, Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance" (otherwise known as the graduation song) and more. Tea and crumpets are not included, but would make for a lovely on-theme outdoor picnic. [less-]

"Peter and the Wolf" basically taught most of us how an orchestra works by representing its characters with specific instruments: The Wolf as French horn, The Hunter as timpani drum, The Duck as oboe. And it was brilliant. Still is. Well, now you can sit under the stars on a summer night at one of the most incredible venues in the country and watch it come to new life with puppetry by Blind Summit, celebrated for their Olympic opening ceremony performance in 2012.

Along with the LA Phil and Grammy-winning violinist James Ehnes, this blockbuster outdoor concert also includes the world premiere of Laura Karpman's "All American". The crazy busy Karpman is one of the handful of female composers in town, having scored everything from TV, video games and the Grammy-winning opera "Ask Your Mama" to a pair of 2018 Sundance films. Order some on-theme All-American grub from the Hollywood Bowl app and pick it up on your way to your seats. [less-]

From its surging first movement to the soul-stirring "Ode to Joy," Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 is considered so monumental, the United Nations has declared it a part of "World Heritage," the musical equivalent of the Pyramids at Giza or the Taj Mahal. That makes the Hollywood Bowl -- which is pretty much L.A.'s version of those world-famous landmarks -- the ideal place to experience this masterpiece, performed by the LA Phil under the baton of Chinese conductor Xian Zhang, with several talented soloists and the Los Angeles Master Chorale on hand as well.

The LA Phil goes continental, with Ludovic Morlot at "le bâton" and works by Berlioz, Chausson and Massenet on the bill, along with Stravinsky's ballet "Petrushka". And yes, Stravinsky was Russian-born, but he later became a French citizen, first landing at Coco Chanel's mansion in 1920, and producing his three most famous dance scores for Ballet Russes in Paris. French varietals will likely be available for the evening at Ann's Wine Bar at the Bowl or BYOB. [less-]

Dashing French piano virtuoso Jean-Yves Thibaudet and the LA Phil have been making beautiful music together for well more than a decade at the Hollywood Bowl, where Thibaudet is a member of the Hall of Fame.

Drop by early and check out the pianist's Hall of Fame cohorts at the Bowl's museum, open till show time. [less-]

How does an Academy Award-winning movie starring Gene Kelly in a 17-minute ballet finale become even more iconic? Watching it outdoors on the big screen with a view of the Hollywood sign (all while the LA Phil performs the score live) would definitely be a good place to start. [less-]

The term "death shriek" might bring to mind the Wilhelm Scream, but Gustav Mahler used it to describe the bone-chilling symphonic wail at the climax of his Symphony No. 2. Such a morbid moment is right at home in the middle of this epic journey through the afterlife commonly known as the "Resurrection Symphony", which the L.A. Philharmonic imbues with new life at the Hollywood Bowl. [less-]

Maestro Gustavo Dudamel and the LA Phil starring in a summer concert of movie music at the Hollywood Bowl is more than enough reason to head to Highland Ave, but then add on the crazy talented, glam pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, who's set to tackle the Rach 3 -- famed as one of the most challenging piano concertos ever written (as seen in the movie "Shine") -- and you've got a night worthy of one of the world's most famous stages.
