Dudamel coached García Bernal before the latter conducted, in the character of Rodrigo, for a real performance of the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, scenes of which were used for the second season opener . Dudamel has a cameo in that episode, acting as a stagehand trying to convince Rodrigo to move to Los Angeles . Other musicians that have cameos in the series are violinist Joshua Bell, pianists Emanuel Ax and Lang Lang, composers Anton Coppola and Nico Muhly, Broadway star Brian d'Arcy James and conductors Alan Gilbert and Bernard Uzan . Blair Tindall, oboist and writer of the book on which the series is based, also appears in a cameo . Much of the original music for the show (most notably "Impromptu," and other work presented within the show's continuity as by Thomas Pembridge) is composed by acclaimed contemporary female composer Missy Mazzoli . For Pembridge's more experimental music in Season 4, the show turned to another female composer, Laura Karpman . Irish female composer and conductor Eímear Noone served as Lola Kirke's real - life conducting coach in season four . Interior shots of the home concert hall were filmed at the Performing Arts Center at SUNY Purchase . </P> <P> In addition to the behind - the - scenes contributions from Mazzoli, Karpman and Noone, the theme of underrepresented or unjustly forgotten or overlooked women composers and conductors in the world of classical music has become increasingly central on screen in the show's third and fourth seasons . Historical female composers who appear in the show include Vítězslava Kaprálová, Isabella Leonarda, Nannerl Mozart and Fanny Mendelssohn . The fourth season featured Pulitzer Prize - winning contemporary composer Caroline Shaw appearing as herself (and the characters perform one of her actual compositions). Composer Paola Prestini also makes a brief cameo in season four, playing one of her own compositions . </P>
