Los Angeles Philharmonic live in City of Edinburgh

Experience Los Angeles Philharmonic live on August 14th

The Los Angeles Philharmonic will perform at Usher Hall in Edinburgh, United Kingdom on August 14, 2026. The orchestra is internationally renowned for its adventurous programming and commitment to both standard repertoire and contemporary music. Historically, the LA Phil has been associated with conductors like Gustav Mahler and currently under the leadership of Gustavo Dudamel, frequently champions new works alongside established classics, often incorporating multimedia elements into performances. Their style is generally characterized by a vibrant, expressive sound and a willingness to explore diverse musical landscapes.

Usher Hall opened in 1897 and is Edinburgh’s premier concert venue. Designed by Robert Rowand Anderson, it’s notable for its exceptional acoustics, consistently ranking among the finest in Europe. The hall was built with philanthropic funding from Andrew Usher, a local brewer, and originally intended as a gift to the city. Throughout its history, Usher Hall has hosted a wide range of performances – from classical music concerts featuring leading orchestras and soloists to choral works, jazz, and popular music events. It serves as a central location for the annual Edinburgh International Festival and plays a significant role in the city's cultural life.
