Gustavo Dudamel - Bernstein: West Side Story - Mambo (Sinfónica Simón Bolívar Orchestra, BBC Proms)

There are some days in our lives when everything just makes sense, and it all comes together in perfect harmony. This 2007 performance at the BBC Proms, with my beloved Sinfónica Simón Bolívar Orchestra, was one of those days, and I share with gratitude this clip and interview.⁣
To my dearest friends and family of El Sistema, and to all those around the world who make music and bring beauty to the world, I give you my deepest thanks and respect - you are my constant inspiration.⁣
Gustavo⁣

Gustavo Dudamel: The Maestro Who’s Changing Classical Music

Gustavo Dudamel is one of today’s most influential conductors, known for his electrifying performances and commitment to music education. As Music & Artistic Director of the LA Philharmonic and Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, and soon the New York Philharmonic, he is redefining what classical music can be.

Shaped by El Sistema, Venezuela’s revolutionary music program, Dudamel believes in music’s power to transform lives. He co-founded YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles) and the Dudamel Foundation to expand access to music education worldwide.

Dudamel’s innovative programming has earned the LA Phil the title of "the most important orchestra in America" (NY Times). His award-winning recordings feature Mahler, Beethoven, and Latin American composers, earning him five Grammy Awards. He has conducted the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert, composed film scores (West Side Story), and collaborated with artists such as Billie Eilish, Coldplay, and Christina Aguilera.
