The Hollywood Bowl celebrates its 47th year of presenting SummerSounds, one of the most popular children's festivals in Southern California. The four-week festival of world music and arts for children ages 3 to 9 takes place weekday mornings, beginning on Monday, July 7, and running weekdays until Friday, August 1, 2014. SummerSounds explores world music through creative, fun-filled programs, introducing music and art from a different dynamic culture each week and engaging families in an interactive and inspiring story-driven concert experience.  Performances are at 10am and 11:15am each day, and the Arts Workshops offer culturally-influenced arts and crafts aligned with the musical themes of the performances. 10am performances are followed by 11:15am Art Workshops, and 11:15am performances are preceded by 10:00am Art Workshops.  Music performances and art workshops each run 40-45 minutes.

Nestled snugly in the Hollywood Hills, the Hollywood Bowl is the largest natural amphitheater in the United States. Seating nearly 18,000 patrons, the Bowl has been the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic since its official opening in 1922; outdoor concert performances each summer feature classical, jazz, and world music presented by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association. To this day, $1 buys a seat at the top of the Bowl for many of the Los Angeles Philharmonic's concerts.  The Bowl's summer music festivals have become as much a part of a Southern California summer as beaches and barbecues, the Dodgers and Disneyland. The Bowl grounds themselves -- one of Los Angeles County's most renowned parks -- are open year-round for visitors to enjoy free of charge.
