LOS ANGELES – It rises out of the pavement like some huge, exotic plant, the sweeping curves of its stainless steel walls glinting in the Southern California sun.
It practically screams that it's architecture with a capital "A." But Walt Disney Concert Hall is much more than that.
It's a new home to one of the leading orchestras in the nation. It's already a regional tourist attraction. It's expected to lure even more major investment to downtown Los Angeles. And it's likely to be a symbol of this city in articles, books and brochures for decades to come.
