The Henri Mancini Gala at Hollywood Bowl

With a spectacular 100th birthday celebration, musical legends and longtime friends—including the legendary John Williams, Arturo Sandoval, Herbie Hancock, Wicked film star Cynthia Erivo, Stevie Wonder, Lizzo, James Galway, Dave Koz, and Grammy Award winner Michael Bublé—honour the legacy of composer, conductor, arranger, pianist, and flautist Henry Mancini. This tribute, set at the iconic Hollywood Bowl, features unforgettable performances, film excerpts enriched by his music, and behind-the-scenes footage from the recording of the 100th-anniversary album with renowned musicians, the LA Philharmonic, and conductor Gustavo Dudamel. Interviews with stars from Mancini-scored films add a personal touch, while heartfelt tributes come from his daughter, singer Monica Mancini, and Quincy Jones, in what marks his final televised appearance. A 20-time Grammy Award winner and four-time Academy Award recipient, Mancini shaped the sound of Hollywood with iconic scores for Breakfast at Tiffany’s, The Pink Panther, Days of Wine and Roses, Victor/Victoria, Charade, and Two for the Road. He conducted at the Hollywood Bowl 29 times, leaving an indelible mark on its stage. Now,
the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, led by Thomas Wilkins, returns to this cherished venue for a moving concert celebrating his extraordinary legacy.
