On February 2, 2025, the Recording Academy announced the winners of the 67th GRAMMY® Awards. Revolución diamantina, the first full album of orchestral works by Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz, performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and led by Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel, earned multiple accolades, marking a record-breaking achievement for the orchestra with a single album.

Revolución diamantina is the second release in the collaboration between the Apple-owned Platoon label and Dudamel with the LA Phil, documenting part of the orchestra’s Pan-American Music Initiative, a multi-year project exploring more than 30 new commissions and numerous creative partnerships to emphasize the importance of Latin American heritage. The Los Angeles Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel were awarded the GRAMMY® for Best Orchestral Performance, and the album, engineered by Alexander Lipay & Dmitriy Lipay, was awarded the GRAMMY® for Best Classical Compendium. Composer Gabriela Ortiz also took home the award for Best Contemporary Classical Composition for Revolución diamantina.

Revolución diamantina is a powerful new ballet score, inspired by Mexico’s 2019 “Glitter March,” the feminist uprising around the country’s epidemic of violence against women. The increase in femicide was a catalyst for this mobilization, and the name stems from an event during which protesters threw pink glitter at the chief of police, denouncing the lack of response following the rape of a woman by local officers. The work, in its concert version, was first performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Dudamel on November 16, 2023.

“Gabriela Ortiz’s compositions embody a rare fusion of primal energy and deep emotional resonance, speaking directly to both the body and the soul,” says Dudamel. “For years, I’ve dreamed of dedicating an album solely to her incredible music, and now, with the LA Phil and Platoon, we’ve made that dream a reality. These GRAMMY® awards are a recognition of her singular artistry, and of the unique, shared journey we’ve embarked on together through the beauty of music.”

Gabriela Ortiz says: “It’s an honor to have this album—created with my dear friends and collaborators, the LA Phil, Gustavo Dudamel and María Dueñas—recognized with these awards. My deepest gratitude goes to the Recording Academy, the extraordinary musicians and producers who brought this recording to life, and everyone who has supported my music and vision. Music has always been my way of connecting with the world, and this moment inspires me to continue creating from the heart.”

Katie Ferguson – Platoon’s Head of Classical added: “We are deeply honored to celebrate the visionary artistry of the LA Phil and Maestro Gustavo Dudamel, and to share in the recognition of these prestigious accolades. Gabriela Ortiz is one of the most compelling voices in contemporary classical music, blending the vibrant traditions of her Mexican heritage with a bold, innovative approach to composition. The orchestra's unwavering commitment to championing Latin American composers perfectly reflects our mission to elevate a rich spectrum of musical voices across the globe. These awards hold great significance for us, and we are excited to continue this landmark series.”

Kim Noltemy, President & Chief Executive Officer at the LA Phil said: “We are honored to be part of Revolución diamantina, a work that powerfully reflects the brilliance of Gabriela Ortiz’s voice and her artistic partnership with Gustavo Dudamel. This recognition is a testament to the artistry of our musicians, the vision of our collaborators, and celebrates the impact of Ortiz’s extraordinary work on the global stage”.
