Artist Information:

The Los Angeles Philharmonic set the classical world abuzz when it selected the now 28-year-old conductor Gustavo Dudamel as its new music director, virtually hand-picked by outgoing maestro Esa-Pekka Salonen. Following wildly successful concerts last season with the Israel Philharmonic and his own Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela, Dudamel returns for his highly anticipated debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
