Radio Broadcasts
Hollywood Bowl on Classical California KUSC
Ten Los Angeles Philharmonic concerts from the current Hollywood Bowl season will be broadcast on Classical California KUSC’s SoCal Sunday Night series, the station’s weekly spotlight on local concerts, beginning Sunday, August 24, 2025, at 7PM.
This is the eighteenth year of the orchestra’s summer partnership with Southern California’s listener-sponsored classical music radio station. This broadcast series allows hundreds of thousands of KUSC listeners across Southern California to experience Hollywood Bowl performances each week.
Hosted and produced by KUSC’s Brian Lauritzen, the programs air weekly at 7PM on Sundays from August 24 through October 26, and are also streamed online—on demand at the KUSC website—for one week immediately following the broadcast.
This series is made possible through the endowed LA Phil Broadcast Program Fund, generously supported by the Lenore S. and Bernard A. Greenberg Fund.

Broadcasts are also streamed live at KUSC.org and on the KUSC app.
