Friendship & Harmony: Prayers for Peace

Join LAKMA (Los Angeles Korean-American Musicians Association) for an extraordinary evening of music and unity at the iconic Walt Disney Concert Hall. Presented as part of our ongoing commitment to bridging cultures, this concert brings diverse communities together through the universal language of music.

The centerpiece of the evening is Ludwig van Beethoven’s masterwork, Missa Solemnis in D, Op. 123—a spiritually profound and technically grand sacred piece celebrating human unity and peace.
