Bowl Tribute to Dorothy Chandler

Before the L.A. Philharmonic concert Tuesday, tribute was paid to Dorothy Buffum Chandler, who died Sunday.

“The best way Dorothy Chandler can be addressed is by this great orchestra, said Ernest Fleischmann, above, managing director of the orchestra. “That the Bowl exists today is because of her passion.” He then asked the Hollywood Bowl audience to stand for a silent tribute to Mrs. Chandler.

The Philharmonic’s program also paid tribute to Mrs. Chandler: “Dorothy Chandler provided extraordinary leadership of several campaigns, the most famous of which quite literally rescued the Hollywood Bowl, and, some years later, provided the Los Angeles Philharmonic with a new home, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.”

She was the wife of the late Norman Chandler, third publisher of the Los Angeles Times.
