Briefly

In June, Kamasi Washington will perform his acclaimed suite 'Harmony of Difference' during a series of shows at LACMA's newly constructed David Geffen Galleries. With over 100 musicians spread throughout the 110,000 square foot building, the performances will be a unique auditory experience, taking advantage of the gallery's acoustics. This is the first complete live performance of the suite since its release in 2017. Tickets will range from $48 to $100, and sales will commence in May.
