the new and the old (or maybe stumpy vs slick???)
The Music Center was the inspiration of Dorothy Chandler (heir to the Buffums department store fortune and wife to the heir of the Los Angeles Times) for a new home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic as well as a performing arts venue and an innovative drama venue. Fundraising started in 1955 and the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion opened in 1965 and was designed by Welton Becket. The Ahmanson Theater and the Mark Taper Forum opened in 1967. In 2003, the Walt Disney Concert Hall opened and became the new home of the Philharmonic.
