L.A. — The lately lamented (too late, some say), under the direction of clean-cut Francis Vincent Zappa are reforming, in whole or in part, to do a series of concerts with Zubin Mehta’s Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. It’ll be the third in a series of four concerts billed as “Contempo ’70”, all of which will feature the L.A. Philharmonic.
The concert will take place May 15 in UCLA’s 11,000 capacity Pauley -Pavilion. Featured selections will include the Orchestra doing Mel Powell’s “Immobiles 1-4” and Varese’s “Integrales”, the Mothers of Invention alone performing “Integrales” as interpreted by Zappa and one additional piece and as the finale, the Mothers with the Orchestra doing selections from Zappa’s two hour orchestral ballet “200 Motels”. “200 Motels” will be performed by Zappa in several places this summer at the request of the Dutch government.
