Abstract
Following a generous donation from the widowed Lillian Disney in 1987, planning started to create a new performing arts center in honor of the late Walt Disney. Originally, the project included a 2500-seat concert hall, 1000-seat chamber hall, and rehearsal and administrative space for the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Los Angeles Master Chorale. Part of the urban renewal of Bunker Hill, the concert hall would expand The Music Center of Los Angeles County, which includes the Ahmanson Theatre, Mark Taper Forum, and Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, the latter of which was the home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic since its completion in 1964.
