Summer music seasons are still going strong but upcoming
2011-2012 indoor seasons are just around the corner and the Los Angeles
Philharmonic is offering a chance to secure the best remaining seats at Walt
Disney Concert Hall with its “Create Your Own Season” packages.

You buy a minimum of five concerts under this program but
everything is in play (except the gala opening event), including the
performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 at the Shrine Auditorium (LINK). In
fact, if you’re so inclined, you could create a package of only the Mahler
symphonies being performed by the L.A. Phil and the Simn Bolivr Symphony
Orchestra of Venezuela in January and February 2012.

You don’t save on ticket prices with this program but you do
get exchange privileges (helpful if you find you have to miss a concert) and
save on handling fees, as well.

Single tickets go on sale Aug. 21
