Walt Disney Concert Hall Tickets

Thanks to Canon Earl Mounger, we again have a limited number of tickets (Limit TWO per household on a first come, first served basis) for a Green Umbrella performance at the Walt Disney Concert Hall for January 30th, 2023 at 8:00pm featuring Ensemble Intercontemporain. Regarded as the world’s leading contemporary music group, Ensemble Intercontemporain, makes a rare appearance to present Olga Neuwirth’s score for the 1924 silent film Die Stadt ohne Juden, based on the novel of the same name by Hugo Bettauer from 1922. Under their music director Matthias Pintscher, the French musicians will accompany the movie directed by Hans Karl Breslauer with Neuwirth’s music that is “both touching and harsh, warm-hearted and open, amusing and furious, involved and distanced, humorous and sad all at once.” Please see Ada Galindo after Mass if you would like to pick up a ticket - and be sure to send your thanks to Earl Mounger!
