If I Awaken in Los Angeles Tickets

If I Awaken in Los Angeles is a dynamic performer project born from collaboration between the Get Lit – Words Ignite organization and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. This one-night show took place on August 1, 2025 at The Ford Theatres in Los Angeles, a historic venue perched on the hillside with a rich tradition of presenting diverse, culturally resonant performances. The evening featured a constellation of artists and poets and was musically guided by Derrick Hodge, with the album produced by Brandon XIV. The event was recorded at The Ford with the support of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, underscoring the city's commitment to integrating poetry, music, and community engagement.

In addition to the live performance, Get Lit released a live album, If I Awaken in Los Angeles, on August 28, 2025 through Get Lit Collective / The Mad Ones. The 19-track collection runs approximately 49 minutes and captures the energy, collaboration, and lyrical depth of the night. Notable collaborations include Joy Harjo, Dante Basco, Jackson Browne, Cheech Marin, Sekou Andrews, Luis Rodriguez, Samantha Rios, and more, highlighting a blend of spoken word, song, and storytelling.

Through a citywide LA student poetry contest linked to the album’s genesis, prizes totaling the best available price were awarded to teachers, reinforcing Get Lit’s mission to empower young voices and connect schools with professional artists. The project demonstrates how poetry can meet music in a live, community-centered experience in Los Angeles.
