Gustavo Dudamel is driven by the belief that music has the power to transform lives, to inspire, and to change the world. Through his dynamic presence on the podium and his tireless advocacy for arts education, Dudamel has introduced classical music to new audiences around the globe and has helped to provide access to the arts for countless people in underserved communities.
The half-hour special, which includes a short introduction narrated by Gustavo’s son, 15-year-old Martín Dudamel, lets the music speak for itself.
