David Garrett, Haydn, and “A Classical Journey”
April 24, 2026 @ 8:00 pm
David Garrett, a member of the LA Phil’s cello section since 2000, will be showcased in Haydn’s lyrical Cello Concerto in
D major.
Join us as we journey from the origins of musical classicism to the opening salvo of the Romantic era. Following CPE Bach’s energetic Symphony in B-flat Major, we showcase LA Phil cellist David Garrett in Hadyn’s beloved Cello Concerto in D Major. The program continues with Schubert’s sparkling Symphony No. 5 and Carl Maria von Weber’s landmark “Invitation to the Dance,” a piece historian John Warrack called “the first and still perhaps most brilliant and poetic example of the Romantic concert waltz.”
Underwritten by a generous grant from the Colburn Foundation.
- Our casual pre-concert feature, “Liner notes,” offers conversation with the cellist David Garrett and insights into the music and composers. “Liner notes” begins at 7:10pm in the church and is free to all ticket holders.
- All concerts take place at St. Matthew’s Church in Pacific Palisades.
- Read our COVID policy.
- Late-comers will be seated at the discretion of the ushers between compositions.
