Disney Hall sets lecture series

The programming at Disney Hall has ranged from classical music to jazz ensembles to bluegrass to organ recitals. Get ready for something new: the spoken word.

The Music Center of Los Angeles County plans to announce today that it will use Disney Hall for a series of lectures next year by architect Daniel Libeskind, Queen Noor of Jordan, NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw, PBS talk show host Charlie Rose and journalists Gwen Ifill and David Gergen. Former President Bill Clinton also will be in the Music Center Speaker Series, but will appear at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
