Kaleidoscope, a conductorless 40-member chamber orchestra based in Los Angeles, will be on hand at the old ticketing hall to perform the world premiere of Mosaic by composer Charles Peck and “Pastoral,” Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6.
Tickets aren’t required for the show though donations are accepted.
Festivities start at 9 p.m. with KUSC radio personality Brian Lauritzen hosting a pre-concert talk at 9:30 p.m.
The concert takes place from 10 to 11 p.m with an after party going until 1 a.m.

If you can’t make it on Friday, Kaleidoscope will also perform at the First Presbyterian Church of Santa Monica on Sunday, Sept. 18 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. for their third season opening.
The program is the same as the Friday concert at Union station with the pre-concert talk hosted by KUSC’s Rich Capparela starting at 2:30 p.m.
The concert goes from 3 to 4 p.m, and will be followed by a reception featuring light refreshments and a chance to meet the performers.
