The California Philharmonic Orchestra, often abbreviated as Cal Phil, was an orchestra, based in Los Angeles, California, United States.
The orchestra performed twenty years of outdoor summer concerts between 1996 and 2016, but then discontinued the practice.
Beginning in 2011, the orchestra performed at the Santa Anita Racetrack, in Arcadia, California, under the musical directorship of Victor Vener, the organization's founder.
Eventually, the California Philharmonic with the California Philharmonic Chorale – popularly known as the Cal Phil Chorale – made Walt Disney Concert Hall their home for their regular summer concerts.
Vener died on December 31, 2023, in Pasadena, California.
