“We are thrilled to be partnering with the Macedonia CDC and Macedonia Baptist Church of Los Angeles for the first of what we hope are many Neighborhood Concerts to come. Watts has a rich musical history, and we are honored to have been invited to play for this extraordinary community,” said Simon Woods, CEO of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
