Historical Background
In
1919
, a
group
of
art
patrons
in
Los
Angeles
known
as the
Theatre
Arts
Alliance
(later
the
Hollywood
Bowl
Association)
,
purchased
land
in
Bolton
Canyon
in the
Hollywood
Hills
for a
concert
venue
. The
site
was
originally
known
as
Daisy
Dell
,
until
a
music
director
observed
that the
acoustics
were
so
good
because
the
place
was
shaped
like
a "
huge
bowl
" and the
new
name
stuck
.
Easter
Sunrise
Service
was the
Hollywood
Bowl's
first
major
event
,
taking
place
on
March
27
,
1921
.
It
was
attended
by
approximately
two
thousand
people
.
Beginning
at
dawn
, the
Los
Angeles
Philharmonic
performed
on a
small
platform
surrounded
by a
huge
crowd
on the
surrounding
hillside
.
Over
the
years
,
several
traditions
have
developed
as
part
of the
Sunrise
Service
,
such
as the "
Living
Cross
"
performed
by a
Youth
Chorus
, the
singing
of
specific
hymns
, and
reading
of
passages
and
prayers
.
During
periods
of
construction
, the
service
was
performed
at
other
locations
in the
vicinity
,
such
as
Hollywood
High
School
(1926)
and the
Hollywood
United
Methodist
Church
(1995-1999)
.
