Orchestras in
Los Angeles County
Esa-Pekka Salonen, conductor of the LA Philharmonic, is from Finland and is one of ten foreign-born conductors of major U.S. orchestras. Zubin Mehta, conductor from 1962 to 1978 and largely credited with bringing the Philharmonic serious recognition outside of Los Angeles, was from India. Founded in 1953, the Los Angeles Doctors Symphony Orchestra is one of the oldest community orchestras in the country originating in the health professions still presenting regular concerts. Although a number of its members are still health care professionals, many non-medical members are involved and invited to be involved. The orchestra holds benefit concerts on behalf of medical and mental health charities. The Pasadena Young Musician Orchestra is one of the oldest youth orchestras in Southern California. The Burbank Chorale, once known as the Burbank Choral Club, is one of the oldest musical organizations in California. It is the longest continuously performing arts organization in the San Fernando Valley. Beginning as a musical group associated with the Woman's Club of Burbank, it presented its first program in 1920. Not long afterwards, the group adopted the name Burbank Choral Club and, separating from the Women's Club, allowed men to join its membership.
