# The Classical World Cup

### Thu / July 9, 2026 - 8:00PM

Dribble, pass, shoot, and score! The LA Phil celebrates the World Cup with a soccer-themed program of works from across the Americas.

Tito Muñoz makes a performance feel “like the center of a social triangle of concerts, parties, and going to church” (I Care If You Listen). Now, he throws more fun into the mix, turning the Hollywood Bowl into a sports arena during this World Cup-themed classical program.
Muñoz debuts with the LA Phil, conducting an exhilarating selection of pieces from the Americas—including Copland and Ginastera’s high-spirited cowboy suites, Revueltas’ rip-roaring and aggressive “Chant for Killing a Snake,” and a world premiere by Emmy-winning and Grammy-nominated composer Adam Schoenberg. Paired with original footage of elite training and match play from director Josh Kahn, The Art of the Goal blends the rhythm of sport with the expressive depth of orchestral music.
Before intermission, Randall Goosby brings an athletic approach to Barber’s Violin Concerto, revealing its rich colors, textures, and characters. “I’m a sucker for anything lyrical and beautiful. It’s such descriptive and expressive music. Each movement [has] stories that are wrapped up in it. It’s always fun to play,” Goosby says.
“With a buttered cream technique that belies the perfect fingering and light but firm bowing, [Goosby] stands out from all of his fellow violinists” (Stage and Cinema). Catch his first performance at the Bowl since 2022!
