Driven by an unwavering belief in the power of music to heal, unite, and inspire, Gustavo Dudamel is one of the most distinguished conductors of our day.
As Music Director of the LA Philharmonic, Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra, and soon the New York Philharmonic, he is redefining what classical music can be.
Shaped by Venezuela’s groundbreaking El Sistema music program, Gustavo Dudamel is a firm believer in the life-changing power of music. To help bring music education to more young people globally, he co-founded YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles) and the Dudamel Foundation.
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.
