Meredith Monk’s ATLAS receives a staggeringly ambitious new production by the LA Phil's Artist-Collaborator Yuval Sharon, collaborating with visual artist Es Devlin.

Sharon's production incorporates visual art, movement, and an innovative use of Walt Disney Concert Hall to cap his three-year residency with the orchestra.
