The musicians are set to perform at Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall on March 7. This will be [French electro-pop band] M83’s debut performance with an orchestra, and at the Disney Hall. The concert will pair M83 mastermind Anthony Gonzalez in a programme that features three sets: the Los Angeles Philharmonic performing orchestral pieces chosen in collaboration with M83; M83 performing solo material; and the Philharmonic performing a selection of songs with M83, featuring orchestral arrangements by Sean O’Loughlin, who also wrote the arrangements for the Los Angeles Philharmonic with Belle & Sebastian and The Decemberists.”
