Founded in 1919 by William Andrews Clark, Jr. with Walter Henry Rothwell as its conductor, it played its first concert in the same year, eleven days after its first rehearsal. Since its founding, the LA Philharmonic has played at least one concert a year in its "sister city", Santa Barbara, California, presented by the Community Arts Music Association (CAMA). The LA Philharmonic is best known to television and movie-going audiences as the performers behind the music in the pilot film to Battlestar Galactica, composed by Stu Phillips and Glen A. Larson.
