LACMA CEO Michael Govan joins with details about a forthcoming, can’t miss Kamasi Washington performance in the museum — plus, he shares some favorite tunes.
Jun 11, 2025

In 2017, native Angeleno and de facto leader of the West Coast jazz cohort, Kamasi Washington, released the EP Harmony of Difference. And for three nights at the end of June — 26, 27, and 28 — Washington will bring a 100+ piece jazz band to fill The LA County Museum of Art (LACMA) with that record’s signature sounds. It’s all part of a very special sneak peek into LACMA’s newest addition — David Geffen Galleries. This is a space that is over 20 years in the making(!). Here to give us the scoop and share some favorite tunes is CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director at LACMA since 2006, Michael Govan.
