In 
1987 Lillian Disney (the widow of Walt Disney) made an initial donation of 50 million dollars for making a performance venue as gift for people of Los Angeles, but may be at that time she herself did not know that this donation will become one of the symbols of ” Art Remix” in 2013.
Walt Disney Concert hall, built on 111 South Grand Avenue in Downtown of Los Angeles California, is a place where various forms of art meet in one place, and yet their mixture with one of the most ancient musical instruments, Pipe Organ, is wonderful and amazing. In this field guide I will try to walk you through the process of making this concert hall and its organ.
Walt Disney Concert Hall
in 1988, Frank Gehry won the free competition for giving the best idea for making a concert hall in Los Angeles. Gehry’s unusual sketches for interior and exterior design pf the hall were like a “ship under full sail, with the audience of board journeying through a sequence of adventures” (A Forest of Pipes, by Jenifer Zobelein, 2007).
Though Gehry was a well known architect of his own time and even now he is more famous. He is an exceptional architect with abstract desings. (Frank Gehry) but this concert hall was his first concert hall and had its own issues. Gehry wanted a big concert hall with an Organ and this was a big challenge for him, because he had to make modern concert hall with an ancient musical instrument without ruining face of neither of them. Even his job was of interest of animation makers (Simpsons)
In 1991 Fran Gehry delivered the complete design of the concert hall and 1992 the construction of underground parking garage began. With a 2 year break between 1994-1996 because of fund raising, the concert hall opened on 2003. (Construction)
Pipe Organ
This musical instrument usually is used in churches and cathedrals. called the king of instruments by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, this ancient musical instrument payed a big role in the history of music. (Organ)
Pipe Organ has different parts, pipes, wind system, stops, keyboard… (Pipe Organ Parts)
What makes the Walt Disney concert hall a unique musical instrument is its look. The main pipe of this organ is built of a 6 feet wood.here we can listen to Manuel Rosales talking about his master piece and explaining about it. (02 Track 2)

What the mixture of this different aspects of art bring for us, is that “newness” is not always in making everything from the scratch but also rebuilding what we have had from many years ago and modernizing them. In 2013 and the 10th anniversary of Walt Disney Concert Hall, the house of LA Philharmonic, there are many pop stars who are willing to be able to take part in this big project by promoting it (10th Anniversary). I believe “Remix” is the art of today and by remix I mean a vast collection of different types of art, from remixing music and picture and making a newly shaped music video to remixing architecture and music and building a unique big everlasting concert hall.
