Folk harpist hits LA's Disney Hall this fall

Joanna Newsom has announced that she will perform with a full orchestra in Los Angeles for the first time this autumn.

The acid-folk harpist will be joined by a 28-piece backing orchestra at the renowned Walt Disney Concert Hall on November 9.

The rare performance will feature orchestral arrangements written by Van Dyke Parks, known for his work with The Beach BoysBrian Wilson.

This will be Newsom's first orchestral performance since her orchestral debut with the London Symphony Orchestra at The Barbican last January.
