The Sounds of Laurel Canyon

Friday, March 13, 2026

About this event

A symphonic immersion into the '60s and '70s California rock scene.

What to Expect

  • 1.The Sounds of Laurel Canyon combines 60s/70s California rock with a full orchestra; expect lush strings, brass, and guitar textures weaving through familiar melodies, with dynamic crescendos that can feel loud—consider ear protection if you’re sensitive.
  • 2.This is a seated, concert-hall experience; arrive early to park and find your seat, and plan for an intermission to digest the arrangements.
  • 3.The crowd tends to be nostalgic and composed, so keep chatter low during performances and applaud after pieces or movements.
  • 4.Parking around Woodward Avenue can fill up fast—use nearby garages or public transit and give yourself extra time for security and lines.
  • 5.If you’re new to orchestral-rock fusion, listen for how the conductor and orchestra illuminate the melodies with strings and brass while the guitars weave in and out—take a moment to follow a solo section when it appears.
