Who owns and operates The Ford?
- Los Angeles Philharmonic Association promotes at The Ford. Promotion · Confirmed · verified 2026-10-03 · record
Two official pages describe the size differently. The LA Phil's venue page gives 1,090 seats; The Ford's About page describes just under 1,200. Both are recorded with their sources; the register stores the precise figure and leaves the basis of the gap unexplained rather than guessing at a configuration.
The 1920 date describes when the venue was built, and 2017 marks a completed renovation, so the room's current form is recent even though its history is long. The name does not refer to the carmaker, and who holds the property or lease is not stated in the sources read. The Los Angeles Philharmonic presents performances here alongside its larger halls.
