Recognizing the crucial need for a forum in Los Angeles for discussion and debate, the 2005 Music Center Series features a roster of distinguished experts in the fields of politics, media and culture.

The Music Center Speaker Series at the world renowned Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion promises to provoke thought and spark conversation, deepening our understanding of the city and world we share.

The Speaker Series is produced by Alan Rothenberg and Dan Savage of SR Productions in collaboration with the Music Center/Performing Arts Center of Los Angeles County.

"The Music Center Speakers Series is the freshest, most electrifying thing that's happened downtown in years. It's stimulating, thought provoking and provides fodder for countless discussions and debates." Judith Ann Biggs Music Center Speakers Series patron
