Custodial History
Mr. Joel Pritkin joined the staff of The Music Center Operating Company on September 8, 1970 as the Archivist for the Music
Center. He was responsible for collecting, evaluating, systematizing, preserving, and making available for reference Music
Center public records and documents of historical significance. Prior to Pritkin's arrival, Kenn Randall and Norman Macdonald,
two of the Music Center's House Managers initiated the archives out of two small storage rooms in the Ahmanson Theatre. Randall
and Macdonald undertook to collect historical items from the previous five years of the Center's existence. Because up until
that time there was no plan to systematically retain these things, many were lost or scattered throughout the offices and
even outside of the Music Center complex. Music Center chief administrator Bill Severns arranged for the purchase of the Raymond
F. Barnes collection through the estate. This collection forms a nucleus of reference books and biographies, as well as historical
items (mainly programs) covering much of the past of the Music Center and its Resident Groups, along with a wide selection
of other theatres around the world. Shortly after Pritkin's hire, the Archives office was relocated to two rooms in the Ahmanson
Annex where Pritkin was joined by Archives assistants James Davis and Larry Phillips. Pritkin's role as curator of the Music
Center Archives continued until the arrival of Archivist Molly Paradiso circa 1990. Paradiso was joined by Julio Cesar Gonzalez
circa 1993. Gonzalez worked as the Music Center Archivist for over two decades until his retirement on September 1, 2017.

Biographical / Historical
The Music Center of Los Angeles County, a seven-acre performing arts complex in downtown Los Angeles, opened when the Dorothy
Chandler Pavilion raised its curtain for the first time on December 6, 1964. The Ahmanson Theatre and Mark Taper Forum followed
in April 1967. The complex expanded to eleven acres on October 24, 2003, when the Walt Disney Concert Hall opened, which includes
the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater and the W.M. Keck Foundation Children's Amphitheatre.
Proposals for a performing arts center in Los Angeles had produced years of unsuccessful discussion and compromise between
private citizens, County government, and downtown business organizations. The Music Center's story began with the Southern
California Symphony Association's search for a permanent home for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.
In 1955, the Board of Supervisors appointed Dorothy Chandler, wife of
Los Angeles Times publisher Norman Chandler, as chairperson of a civic committee to promote a performing arts facility for the County of Los
Angeles. After many years of negotiation, a County site was designated in downtown's Bunker Hill district with 34.5 million
dollars needed for construction. With Dorothy Chandler leading the drive, the Music Center Building Fund of the Southern California
Symphony Association was established. Operating out of her home with the help of hundreds of volunteers, 20 million dollars
was raised by donations from the business community and private citizens.
A contract between the County and The Music Center Lease Company was then established to build the facility on County-owned
property. The remaining balance of 14.5 million dollars was raised by creating a land leaseback arrangement using mortgage
revenue bonds.
The Music Center Operating Company (MCOC) was formed in 1961 to oversee the construction and to manage the Music Center complex.
The MCOC handled the administration and operation of the Center. Its responsibilities ranged from management of theatre, stage,
and box office operations; supervision of a restaurant and concessions; and providing the information center for the complex.
The MCOC licensed the use of the three theatres to both long- and short term-tenants. Long-term producing organizations, also
known as resident companies, had the first choice of the available time in the theatres. The resident companies included the
Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, the Center Theatre Group, the Los Angeles Opera, the Joffrey Ballet, and the Master Chorale.

The Music Center Operating Company (MCOC) was formed July 25, 1961, to manage and operate the facilities known as the Music
Center of Los Angeles County on behalf of the County of Los Angeles. Its responsibilities ranged from the management of theatre,
stage, and box office operations to supervision of a restaurant and concessions. The MCOC licensed the use of the theatres
to both long-term tenants, whose offices are located within the Center, and short-term tenants. The long-term producing organizations
were also known as resident companies because they received funding from The Music Center and thus, had first choice of the
available time in each of the theatres. In addition to sponsoring the free Symphonian Tours, the MCOC, through its archives,
maintained a history of The Music Center from its inception.

Biographical / Historical
Founded by William Andrews Clark, Jr., a 42-year-old amateur musician, lawyer, bibliophile, and art patron, the Los Angeles
Philharmonic Orchestra (LAPO) performed its first concert on Friday, October 24, 1919, in Trinity Auditorium with its first
Music Director, Walter Henry Rothwell. For 15 years, Clark was the sole guarantor for the Orchestra, but the non-profit Southern
California Symphony Association was organized shortly before his death in 1934 to assure continued sponsorship of the Orchestra.
The Philharmonic was largely responsible for the "Symphonies Under the Stars" at the Hollywood Bowl. In 1921, the Orchestra
played a program for an Easter Sunrise Service at the Bowl. A similar program in 1922 led to the founding of the summer symphony
concerts, which began in July of 1922 and established the Hollywood Bowl as the summer home for the Philharmonic. The Los
Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performed its winter season concerts at the Philharmonic Auditorium from 1920 through the end
of the 1963/1964 season. In 1964, the Orchestra moved to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion where it performed until 2003, when
it moved to the Walt Disney Concert Hall. After the 1927 departure of its first Music Director, Walter Henry Rothwell, ten
conductors have served in that capacity: Georg Schnéevoigt (1927–1929), Artur Rodziński (1929–1933), Otto Klemperer (1933–1939),
Alfred Wallenstein (1943–1956), Eduard van Beinum (1956–1959), Zubin Mehta (1962–1978), Carlo Maria Giulini (1978–1984), André
Previn (1985–1989), Esa-Pekka Salonen (1992–2009), and Gustavo Dudamel (2009–present).

Biographical / Historical
A group of civic-minded women and men who were active in the area's artistic and business communities combined their efforts
to establish the Hollywood Bowl and its summer music festival. The Bowl's founders wished to establish an outdoor park and
art center to entertain and educate a large audience and build community spirit in the small town of Hollywood. Only around
5,000 people lived in Hollywood in 1910. On August 12, 1918, this group scheduled a meeting which resulted in the organization
of the Theatre Arts Alliance. The Alliance incorporated on May 25, 1919 and in 1920 reorganized as the Community Park and
Art Association. By 1920 the growth of the movie industry had turned this community into a boom-town, with a population close
to 50,000. The Association's secretary, Mrs. Artie Mason Carter, was the most active in promoting the project to the community,
raising money, and developing plans for a series of symphonic concerts. In fact, the permanent relationship between Hollywood
Bowl and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra began when the orchestra's founder, William Andrews Clark, Jr., agreed to
Carter's request that he donate the orchestra's services for the 1921 Easter Sunrise Service. Carter is sometimes referred
to as the "mother of the Bowl." The Women's World Peace Concert, held on November 11, 1921 (Armistice Day), was one of the
first major events at the Bowl, and on July 11, 1922, Alfred Hertz conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra in the
first concert of the first season of "Symphonies Under the Stars."
