Hailed as the “Best Free Outdoor Summer Concert Series” by Los Angeles Magazine and called “a grand gift to the public... democracy in musical action” by the Los Angeles Times, Grand Performances has presented some of the nation’s finest music, dance, theater, and more at the California Plaza in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles for the past 30 years.  Joining us is Leigh Ann Hahn, director of programming of Grand Performances. A half-Korean child adopted by a German-English family in Iowa as a  two-year old and raised multi-culturally. She  drove to Los Angeles at the age of twenty four and recalls, "I saw the city sprawled out in front of me, looking like a great big field full of diamonds. When I saw that almost mind-numbing beauty in front of me, I knew that one chapter of my life was done and another was beginning.” Today she is a  living embodiment of LA’s culture and diversity,  and assembles one of America’s largest, most diverse and culturally thrilling city festivals.
