<P> The many oboe solos played by the protagonist and other characters throughout the series are performed by Lelie Resnick , principal oboist of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra , while the character of Rodrigo is loosely based on Gustavo Dudamel , the Venezuelan music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic . 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>
