Symphony Performances
Los Lobos
For almost four decades LOS LOBOS has performed their own special blend of R&B, blues, Tex-Mex country and pop. This special concert event will feature their East LA roots and Spanish language music in an acoustic format. A rare example of longevity in a volatile music world, Los Lobos’ lineup has remained uninterrupted since 1984, when saxophonist/keyboardist Steve Berlin joined original members Louie Pérez, David Hidalgo, Cesar Rosas and Conrad Lozano.
