The Los Angeles Philharmonic Association announced today an addition to the Walt Disney Concert Hall 2024/25 season: Gregory Alan Isakov with the LA Phil on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at 8PM. This one-night-only performance marks Isakov’s debut with the LA Phil and his first show at Walt Disney Concert Hall. The show will include symphonic arrangements of favorites from Isakov’s six full-length studio albums, including his most recent, the acclaimed Appaloosa Bones, as well as previous releases like Evening Machines and Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony. The orchestral versions of these songs were arranged by Tom Hagerman (DeVotchKa) and Jay Clifford (Jump Little Children). The LA Phil will be conducted by Christopher Dragon.

Beloved by his devoted community of fans and critics alike, Isakov has garnered over 1 billion streams to date and averages 7 million monthly Spotify listeners. The Associated Press praised Appaloosa Bones, saying, “His new songs are relentlessly majestic, a kind of musical morphine,” while Paste declared, “he’s continuing to make expertly-tooled music…it’s reliably beautiful and starkly self-possessed throughout.”
