On June 21, CSUN alumni and friends descended upon the famed Hollywood Bowl to watch as the venue opened up its 2014 season with a star-studded string of performances during its 15th annual Hall of Fame concert. The list of those who crossed the stage included Bowl Hall of Fame inductees Kristin Chenoweth, The Go-Go’s and Pink Martini. Actresses Taraji P. Henson, Helen Hunt, Carol Burnett, Lea Michele and Barbara Eden all presented during the evening.

Before the big concert, the group of Matador alumni enjoyed dinner on the lawn on the reserved Camrose picnic area. The evening ended with a spectacular fireworks display.

Proceeds benefit the LA Philharmonic and its education programs.
