Historical Background
Los Angeles Music Center consists of Mark Taper Forum , Ahmanson Theatre , Dorothy Chandler Pavilion , and Walt Disney Concert Hall . Among them, Dorothy Chandler Pavilion was the first and largest theater of the Music Center . It was built in 1964 and designed by Welton Becket under a total design policy : the firm designed everything from the structure to its interior design including lighting fixtures , carpeting , typography , restaurant china and flatware to create a unified look . The interior is famous for the 78 crystal light fixtures as well as three chandeliers made with 24,000 pieces of hand-polished crystals imported from Germany . The Pavilion was named after Dorothy Buffum Chandler , wife of the Los Angeles Times ' publisher , who led a planning committee for the Music Center and successfully raised private donations of over 20 million dollars to build the Center .
